I'm currently in the process of gathering all info and completing our attorney's questionaire packet so we can get it to him and him run the Mean's Test....but I have some questions...
My income is pretty straight forward, I have gross pay with net pay after taxes are taken out.....my wife's stub has a couple gross pay figures....she has medical, dental, vision and dependant care taken out pre-tax, THEN taxes taken out of her pay....which amount do I use for the means test purposes? The biggest gross amount or the amount that has the pre-tax deductions taken out?
Using the highest amount on her check puts us over the means test by $840 a month....using the middle amount (which is the amount on her yearly w-2 for tax purposes) we are still over on the means test but only by $68.
Bottom line is we don't want to have to file Ch. 13 and I will take an unpaid month of work off if that is what it takes LOL
Thanks
