New Jersey - Local Standards: Housing and Utilities<br />

Disclaimer: IRS Collection Financial Standards are intended for use in calculating repayment of delinquent taxes.<br />

These Standards are effective on April 2, <strong>2012</strong> for purposes of federal tax administration only. Expense information for<br />

use in bankruptcy calculations can be found on the website for the U.S. Trustee Program.<br />

The housing and utilities standards are derived from U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey and Bureau of<br />

Labor Statistics data, and are provided by state down to the county level. The standard for a particular county and<br />

family size includes both housing and utilities allowed for a taxpayer's primary place of residence. Generally, the total<br />

number of persons allowed for determining family size should be the same as those allowed as exemptions on the<br />

taxpayer's most recent year income tax return.<br />

Housing and utilities standards include mortgage or rent, property taxes, interest, insurance, maintenance, repairs, gas,<br />

electric, water, heating oil, garbage collection, residential telephone service, cell phone service, cable television, and<br />

internet service. The tables include five categories for one, two, three, four, and five or more persons in a household.<br />

The taxpayer is allowed the standard amount, or the amount actually spent on housing and utilities, whichever is less. If<br />

the amount claimed is more than the total allowed by the housing and utilities standards, the taxpayer must provide<br />

documentation to substantiate those expenses are necessary living expenses.<br />
