Schedule I Income Question

[liric2]

I am going to file pro se soon and I have a question about the Schedule I form. I have not worked for about a year and am currently being supported by a family member; she handles my expenses directly. So although I'm certain that I have no income from wages I don't know if should list the assistance I receive from her under the "other income" category. I am worried that not listing any income will pose problems for me, as it has before. Also what should I list under expenses, considering the above. Any opinions would be appreciated.

How long is she going to support you? I do think that you should list it under "other income", and I do agree it is best to "err on the side of caution" (am I saying that right?). In other words, just "cover your butt"!

What problems did it cause for you before??

What problems did it cause for you before??

I applied for a student loan and said on the application that I had earned no income the previous year. I was living off older savings not generated the year in question, savings that did not themselves yield interest. My school computer was programmed not to accept the fact that I had earned no money the year in question, and yet there was no question that I could answer honestly on the application and say that I did. I pressed the issue, otherwise I would not have gotten a loan. Someone at my school had to override the computer. The length of the process forced me to void my registration and it completely screwed up my schedule, although I was totally honest on the application and the school official I pushed to speak to admitted that I was right.
