By skyforbes I'm working on applying for medicaid, but I don't really know how to figure out what my gross income is because I don't know what that's supposed to include. I know it includes everything that's taken out for taxes, but my pay stubs also list all of the benefits I receive (like insurance, retirement plan contributions, etc.) as dollar amounts, as if they are a part of my paycheck, even though obviously I don't actually receive any of that money. Which means that the gross income listed on my pay stubs is not just what I actually get paid + taxes.
I dunno if that's normal, this is the first job I've had that wasn't fast food, but I want to know if I should be including any of that when I report my gross income, or if I should just add up my actual paycheck and what's taken out for taxes and ignore the rest. I get paid monthly if that matters.
