WHAT IS DISCRETIONARY INCOME?
A: Our policy reads: Total discretionary income is not the same as adjusted gross income (AGI on the federal tax return). It is a total income-calculated by restoring to income tax incentives, such as business losses due to depreciation, subtracted to get the AGI minus such things as taxes actually paid; a standard maintenance allowances for medical expenses, child care and care of student's grandparents, and other expenses.
