(*The applicable household size is the number that would currently be allowed as exemptions on your federal income tax return, plus the number of any additional dependents whom you support.)

Form B122A-1 requires you to:

  1. total your income for the last six calendar months [Line 11],
  2. average it, then
  3. annualize it, and then
  4. compare it to the North Dakota median for your size household [Line 13].
    • If your income is below this amount, you meet the requirements of the "means test" (section 707(b)(2) of the bankruptcy code) to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The table above makes it a bit simpler to figure out. Compare your six-month total income over the last six calendar months to the "6 Mo. Total" in the chart below to get a rough idea of which side of the line you fall. Pay attention to the rules about household size.

It uses the language and formatting of the 2014 version of Official Form B122A-1Official Form B122A-1Supp, and Official Form B122A-2, just a few of several forms you must complete if you decide to file for bankruptcy.

Read the instructions carefully (for official instructions for PDF forms, click here). If you are unsure whether an item applies to your situation, make a note of your question. Ask a bankruptcy lawyer about it if you go for a free consultation.
