Based on my non-consumer case and my attny this is not totally true, while you are correct that the means test is not required, you still have to submit your budget. The IRS limits that the normal means test use do not apply. If in the end you have money left over to fund a 13 you would still be put in one. Very unlikely because your expenses are not looked at very closely and there are no limits to what you could spend, however it could happen.

It might be a district by district thing, but I have seen the cases. You CAN show DMI on Schedules I&J and the U.S. Trustee has no basis to object, AT ALL. The entire code section, 707, doesn't even apply in a non-consumer case.
