Filing in NY, so a 'common law' state and not a 'community property state,' but I am not really clear on this one, though I suspect that we don't have to itemize the non-filing spouse's personal property on Schedule B, correct?
Non-filing spouse has two cars: 1 she is making payments on, which is listed on Schedule J for auto, and 1 she owns outright.
Given two cars, we used a monthly transportation/maintenance figure that is close (but still under) to the national average for a family with 2 cars.
Without the cars being shown on Schedule B, I am just not sure if this raises a flag, since once one car is reflected in the auto expense on Schedule J.
...could see the Trustee asking about the transportation expense and being higher than it should, given he really will only knows about one of the cars.
