The "income" question doesn't state pre- or post-tax — you should say you intend one or the other.
Also individual versus household. I went with individual.
I interpreted the question as pre-tax, individual income.
Yeah, isn't that always the default assumption about 'income' unless one is involved in a taxation discussion?
I always interpret it as pre-tax household, but that happens to give me the same result most years.
Curious: I automatically assume all such questions to be pre-tax, as is the convention around here. Are there regions where post-tax is the default?
