U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-6050
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Arkansas
[PUBLISHED] [Federman, Author, with Schermer and McDonald, Bankruptcy
Judges]
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Chapter 13 above-median debtor sought
to claim ownership deduction for automobiles consistent with the
IRS Local Standards, even though debtor did not incur such an expense.
Bankruptcy court's allowance of this expense is reversed. Debtors who
do not incur vehicle ownership expenses are not permitted to claim the
IRS Standard deductions for such expenses because such expenses are not
applicable under section 701(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I).
