Line 22 of the US citizen's form 1040 tax return if self employed. The gross wages if the US citizen earns just a salary or hourly wage.

It depends on which deductions you're talking about. Generally, it's income after any business deductions, and before any personal deductions. On a 1040 or 1040A it would be the line labeled "Total Income". On a 1040EZ it would be the line labeled "Adjusted Gross Income".
