Income from assets is the total cash value multiplied by the interest rate. (For example: George receives .001% interest on the balance in his savings account. $596.32 X .001 = $.596, rounded to $.60) List of Assets (the letter corresponds to each household Member’s assets. In this case, all Assets belong to the head of household, George Langley) (Imputed income is calculated only if the total Net Value of Assets is more than $5,000.)
Check income level carried over from page 1 of the TIC Owner or authorized agent (Management Company) should sign on the same day or after than the tenant(s).

Tenant Income Certification Preparation Hints • TICs should be signed first by the tenant, then by the management representative on the same day or later, NEVER BEFORE the tenant • Fill out all gray cells in the TIC. Cells outlined in red will auto fill. • Never black out any entry (or white it out) – it must be crossed off so that it is still legible, and with the preparer’s initials and date close to the correction. Example: Albert AJH 03-02-14
