6125 Pre-tax and Federal Income Deductions - Pre-tax and federal deductions are amounts that are excluded from the gross income amount used for a MAGI determination. They include pre-tax amounts reported to the IRS by an employer via wage information or by a consumer through filing taxes. For MAGI-based determinations, they may be reported by the consumer at application or review or identified through paystubs or tax forms received. When a consumer reports overall household deductions of $300.00 or less per month, the attested amount may be used in the determination with no further verification needed. For reported amounts in excess of $300.00 per month, verification will be required in most cases. See 1330.05.
