Earned income is derived from labor or active participation in a business. Earned income includes taxable wages, tips, salary, commissions, bonuses, self-employment, and any other type of income defined as earnings by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Earned income is counted as income when it is received, or would have been received, except for the decision of the participant to postpone receipt. Earnings over a period of time and paid at one (1) time, such as the sale of farm crops, livestock, or poultry are annualized, and IRS-allowable self-employment expenses deducted.
