In this section we will be asking about household size and family taxable income.

For household size, please indicate how many people are living in your household, include all children and adults - even adult children who are attending college.

What is your total household size?

Family Taxable Income

Taxable income is not the same as your total income or adjusted gross income. This information is found on your 1040 form.

Taxable income is your adjusted gross income minus your deductions. For example – I have a family of 4 and my taxable income is about 40-50% of my total income. For larger families, your taxable income might be less.

Tax forms change from year to year and it can difficult to find this information. If you cannot easily find your family taxable income, call director Heather Maib at (208) 885-6880 or email hmaib@uidaho.edu.
