Schedule I is the income half of the Chapter 7 budget proof. Pair it with Schedule J (monthly expenses) and verify against the means test. Trustees scrutinize the gap.
The Schedule I (Form 106I) template is waiting for a licensed attorney to review its rule data. Until then SynthCounsel does not produce this document, so answering the questions will not give you one.
You can still read through the questions to see what it asks and what to gather.
Trustees in every district treat Schedules I and J as a unit. If Schedule J’s monthly expenses exceed Schedule I’s take-home plus other income by more than petty rounding, the trustee will ask how. If the gap runs the other way (income materially exceeds expenses), the trustee will ask whether you can fund a Chapter 13 plan and whether the case is presumptively abusive under § 707(b)(2)(A).
Run the means test first. If Form 122A-1 shows above-median income, Form 122A-2 applies allowed expense deductions to the calculation. The numbers you use on the means test should match Schedule I exactly — different numbers across the same case is a trustee red flag.
