I've done cases where Sch I is $1,000 over Sch J, and they went by fine. I would not go much higher, however.

I agree Frank. Normally people spend higher than they say. We looked to increase it everywhere we could. Still couldnt find additional expenses. They do save about $1,000 a month.

Subject: RE: [cdcbaa] Tax case with excess I and J
I dont see a problem with it if that is the accurate number. But, does your client really save $1100/month? My experience is that my clients dont actually save this money but have higher expenses that sometimes are unreasonable. For example, a single debtor may spend $750 / month for food because she eats out a lot or $250 / month for entertainment. Typically, I would not include such numbers in an ordinary case because I know that there is a likelihood of an objection due to unreasonableness. In nonconsumer cases such as yours where 707(b) is not applicable, I normally include those type of expenses. You are fine in either case, but my point is dont shy away from listing actual expenses even if they may be unreasonable.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Tax case with excess I and J
I have a tax caseway more tax debt than consumer debt.
So no means test.
However, there is an excess of $1,100 in I/J net.
Since 11 U.S.C. 707 does not apply except in consumer cases, whether under the means test or the totality of circumstances test, Im thinking its OK to reveal this surplus.
Does anyone see a problem with that?
