paystubs 6 months prior to filing for means test

[Printer099]

For the caculation of the 6 months gross income, does anyone think it is 6 months of paystubs received? Or income earned?

For example lets say the 6 months period is Jan 2007 through June 2007. The first stub received in January was probably for income earned in December 2006, and the first stub in July 2007 is actually for income earned for the last half of June 2007.

Yep. It has to be 6 month's worth of pay stubs. Doesn't matter that income during the first of the year was earned in the previous year. Or income shown on the July pay stub was actually earned in June.

Think about people who filed in the early months of the year. A portion to most of their pay stubs came from the previous year.

yep, its definitely that date on the paycheck. Same goes for taxes. You get taxed in the year you get paid.

Paystubs need to be submitted?

Do I need to submit copies of my paystubs from the previous 6 months with my BK forms to the court?

No you don't submit those as far as I know. However you will want to put them in a nice safe place. That way if the Trustee asks for them, you will have them handy to send copies to him.
