Schedule I – Current Income of Individual Debtor(s)

INSTRUCTIONS : SCHEDULE I CURRENT INCOME OF INDIVIDUAL Debtors (Form B-6I)

• Schedule I, which is a necessary form in a bankruptcy filing, deals with the current income of debtors—both joint and single filings apply. When filling-out Form b-6I Schedule I, it is crucial to be completely honest when entering the requested information—lying or submitting inaccurate information will raise flags and could further delay your bankruptcy filing. It is a terrible idea to understate your income; this maneuver will invariably lead to complications and in most cases, legal action taken by the particular court system.

Preparing to File Schedule I

• Before filing schedule I, be sure to have any and all income statements at hand. This includes all pay stubs, business income, social security and income generated from pensions. Anything that generates a monthly income must be entered on this particular schedule.

Filing Schedule I

• At the top of the form, you will be asked to enter your name, marital status and any dependents. In this section you will also be asked to fill in your place of work, as well as the address and workplace of your spouse if applicable. Spousal information must be entered even if you are filing a separate case.

• Questions one through six on the form will require you to access your pay stubs and income statements. Take the most recent month’s income and total it up; take this figure and enter it on line 1. Following the input of this information, add up all payroll deductions for that month and enter them on the appropriate liens.

• Questions 7 through 13 are related to all other forms of earned income apart from wages—if there is money coming in from any other source enter the corresponding information. If there is no income accrued outside of wages, enter a zero to indicate that there is nothing to report. Once you have filed this information you can move on, but as stated before, do not underestimate your income—it is illegal and you will surely get caught.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings completed by individuals involve the liquidation of assets with the purpose of paying off debts and discharging the balance which cannot be paid afterwards. To obtain this status, you must first fill out the Chapter 7 Means Test proving they qualify for this status.

Chapter 7 Means Test Step 1: Part I should be completed by any debtor who is a military member or whose debts are not consumer related.

Chapter 7 Means Test Step 2: Part II is designed to determine your total current income from the last six months. List your marital status, gross wages, income from operating a business or farm, rent and property income, and any other income. Calculate your current monthly income as indicated.

Chapter 7 Means Test Step 3: In Part III, list the average median family income for households of your size in your state. This information is available on the website of the Department of Justice. If your current monthly income from Part II is equal to or less than this amount, skip to Step 10.

Chapter 7 Means Test Step 4: Part IV allows you to adjust your total monthly income based on various issues related to your spouse's financial status.

Chapter 7 Means Test Step 5: Part V, Subpart A allows for standard deductions as defined by the IRS. The Department of Justice lists the figures you will need, such as mortgage and household expenses.
