And I do not blame you. Frankly, I had no idea the wrong box was checked on the ECF Filing with the Bankruptcy Court. THe proper check and the one that is checked in my original document was letter C: "Married, not filing jointly, without the declaration of seperate households. Spouse income is included in CMI but not DMI." SInce Mrs Joy did not have any income in 2007 it was not a material issue, but certainly could be confusing to those who did not know the difference.

While I hope it was a mistake, I have some concerns.
I apologise for that, but I am somewhat acquainted with bankruptcy laws and forms, and having read the document referred to in the link above, and now your explanation, it simply doesn't add up.
My reasons for saying this are because in the same means test in the next section, you are required to list your household size and include all dependants. According to what you say above, your wife would be one.
In section 3 you list your household size as 1, which might be a mistake also, but seems unlikely as you go one to list the required amount based on that number, which has to be looked up.
You lose an exemption that way, so it seems it would not be to your advantage to do this, but the reason for this form is also to make sure you have listed all assets, and I'm sure you must know that by filing married but separate households, you don't have to do so.
I am sure you understand that doesn't look right, and will move to correct this as soon as possible to avoid the appearance of evil as well as avoid possible legal penalties or consequences.
