  Individual Income Tax
What is the definition of total household resources or household income?
 
Answer:

Beginning in 2012, household income has been replaced with total household resources . Total household resources are the total income (taxable and nontaxable) of both spouses or of a single person maintaining a household during the year, including income that might be exempt from federal adjusted gross income. Net losses from business activity may not be used to reduce total household resources.

For 2011 and prior years household income is the total income (taxable and nontaxable) of both spouses or of a single person maintaining a household.
