I've always thought line 57 was most appropriate unless the particular
trustee has an issue with where those deductions are listed within Form 22C.
Do all the ch13 trustees in the Central District pay close attention to
Wiegand? I would assume so since it often affects the applicable
commitment period.

Dear members:
I have a PC that buys and sells cars. His income on line 3 of the 22C is
10,000 per month. Of this amount $5,000 is inventory and about $1,000 is
parts to fix the cars up so they can be sold. So am I reading the Wiegand
decision correctly to say that I can deduct the cost of inventory and parts
at LINE 57 for "SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES" contemplated by Section 1325(b)(2)
or does it have to be listed in PART VI as necessary for health and welfare
of family under 707?

I thought Form 22C /was/ the Chapter 13 form?
In any event, as I recall the only impact of Wiegand was in
determining whether a debtor is above median or below, thereby
determining whether it must be a 60 month plan, or could be less.
Where the actual offsetting expenses are stuck elsewhere on the form
is not that important since Wiegand doesn't impact the ultimate
monthly payment amount, just the term. But I say this without
re-reading it at the moment.

Wiegand says that these expenses cannot be deducted "above the line".

Without reading Wiegand, aren't the inventory and parts "ordinary and necessary
business expenses" on line 3b? So the net income is $4000...
