What's included in household income?

Include income you (and your spouse, if you file jointly) received during the tax year from sources like:

• Wages and salaries
• Self-employment income
• Tips
• Taxable interest
• Dividends
• Unemployment compensation
• Gains on the sale of assets
• Rental income and partnership K-1s
• Canceled or forgiven debt
• Alimony received
• IRA distributions
• Pensions and annuities
• Social Security benefits
• Other taxable income

For several of these, only part of what you received is taxable. Your Tax Pro will work out the taxable amount from your documents.

What you don't include

• Child support you receive
• Insurance proceeds for accident, casualty, health, or life
• Employer-provided meals and lodging that meet IRS rules
• Veterans' benefits
• Public assistance payments

Neither list is complete. If you're not sure whether something counts, upload the document and ask your Tax Pro.
