The total 2003 income of all owners and any spouses of owners residing on the premises must be

any taxable distributions from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Please see the back of this form
for a description of how to calculate your income from your 2003 federal and State income tax forms.
All owners, including non-resident owners, must attach a copy of either their 2003 federal or
2003 State income tax return (if filed). (Tax schedules and tax form attachments are not routinely
required.) Return this form to your local assessor by taxable status date. Do not file this form with
