Calculate Schedule I ??

[BrokeJoke22]

On the schedule I form under income it says "Estimate of average or projected monthly income at time case filed).

I just want to make sure I understand this. Currently I just listed my 6 month average under income like I did on the means test but I think I might be wrong. (By the way I hate how I always second guess myself )

I was reading the forum and came across some other post some said they used their prior months income on the schedule I.
Ex: If someone filed Sept 30 they would use the August income on schedule I?

Another used what the usually get during the month basically what they usually average.
Ex: Even though you could make less your usual average weekly gross can be around $300 and take home around $280. $280 x 4 = 1120?

I've got myself confused. Could someone please tell me which "formula" I'm supposed to use? Maybe I'm just over thinking this but I want to get this perfect. I don't want the trustee to even blink at my forms. lol. Thanks

Hello,

I think it is okay to use the average of your past 6 months income if that is your average income and what you expect to continue earning. That is what I used. My past 6 months income is the same as my average, and the same as my future (from what I am aware of.)

If you do not expect a change in your income, or this is what you usually receive, then you should be okay.
