[CLBS] 9th Cir. BAP's Decision on the $200 Old Car Deduction

[Alexandra Caval]

The Luedtke decision came out yesterday. In a nutshell, the 9th Circuit BAP held that the $200 old car deduction is not an allowed deduction when computing disposable income because it is not set forth or referenced in the National or Local Standards or in the Financial Analysis Handbook which is the portion of the Internal Revenue Manual that identifies, describes and interprets the National and Local Standards.
