Hey all, sorry for yet another IBR question but I checked the related threads and it doesn't look like this particular topic was expounded on much.

My previous payment was zero dollars since I was unemployed but since reapplying this year I have gotten a job. Now, my previous tax return (2013) reflects my salary for roughly a few months (I worked for only a few months for that year). When I go to reapply for the program it fetches the previous year's tax return information from the IRS (as you know). But then it asks you if your income is different.

How do I answer this? My income is no different than before but are they asking something else? Since my wage is the same am I okay to answer no to this question and use the previous year's tax return as usual or do they want more information from me? I hope this question makes sense and people understand what I am asking.

Thanks for any feedback and again, sorry if this is something that is posted about a lot, like I said I did a search and didn't find much.
