Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

calculating support when owning own business

My question is simple but can't seem to find the answer. I own my pet sitting business and operated at a loss this past year. When calculating child support they ask for gross income. Does this mean my gross before legal business deductions on my tax form or after the business deductions? Thanks..
