Official Form 122C-2 Chapter 13 Calculation of Your Disposable Income 04/25
To fill out this form, you will need your completed copy of Chapter 13 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income and Calculation of Commitment Period (Official Form 122C–1). Be as complete and accurate as possible. If two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for being accurate. If more space is needed, attach a separate sheet to this form. Include the line number to which the additional information applies. On the top of any additional pages, write your name and case number (if known).
Part 1: Calculate Your Deductions from Your Income
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues National and Local Standards for certain expense amounts. Use these amounts to answer the questions in lines 6-15. To find the IRS standards, go online using the link specified in the separate instructions for this form. This information may also be available at the bankruptcy clerk’s office.
Deduct the expense amounts set out in lines 6-15 regardless of your actual expense. In later parts of the form, you will use some of your actual expenses if they are higher than the standards. Do not include any operating expenses that you subtracted from income in lines 5 and 6 of Form 122C–1, and do not deduct any amounts that you subtracted from your spouse’s income in line 13 of Form 122C–1.
If your expenses differ from month to month, enter the average expense.
Note: Line numbers 1-4 are not used in this form. These numbers apply to information required by a similar form used in chapter 7 cases.
5. The number of people used in determining your deductions from income
Fill in the number of people who could be claimed as exemptions on your federal income tax
return, plus the number of any additional dependents whom you support. This number may
be different from the number of people in your household.
National
You must use the IRS National Standards to answer the questions in lines 6-7.
Standards
6. Food, clothing, and other items: Using the number of people you entered in line 5 and the IRS National
Standards, fill in the dollar amount for food, clothing, and other items. $________
- Out-of-pocket health care allowance: Using the number of people you entered in line 5 and the IRS National Standards, fill in the dollar amount for out-of-pocket health care. The number of people is split into two categories─people who are under 65 and people who are 65 or older─because older people have a higher IRS allowance for health care costs. If your actual expenses are higher than this IRS amount, you may deduct the additional amount on line 22.
