Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Deductions from monthly gross income must be allowed as follows:

(1) Income taxes payable based on the applicable tax rate for a single taxpayer and a monthly payroll period rather than the actual tax rate;

(2) Social security and Medicare taxes based on the applicable tax rate for an employee or a self-employed taxpayer;

(3) Contributions to an IRS qualified retirement plan not exceeding ten percent of gross income;

(4) Actual business expenses of an employee, incurred for the benefit of his employer, not reimbursed;

(5) Payments made on other support and maintenance orders.
