Local Transportation Expense Standards
(IRS National Standards for bankruptcy Means Test -- Cases Filed On and After
May 1, 2012)
For Use with Allowable
Transportation Expenses Table
|
The Operating Costs and Public Transportation Costs
sections of the Transportation Standards are provided by
Census Region and Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The
following table lists the states that comprise each Census
Region. Once the taxpayer's Census Region has been
ascertained, to determine if an MSA standard is applicable,
use the definitions below to see if the taxpayer lives
within an MSA (MSAs are defined by county and city, where
applicable). If the taxpayer does not reside in an MSA, use
the regional standard.
Please Note: With the IRS data updated effective
March 17, 2008, some MSAs were either changed or eliminated.
