Net income is what you get after tax, gross income is before tax.
It depends on the filing status. For 2007: Joint or Head of Household: Tax is computed at a graduated rate and is assessed in a range from one to five percent on the first $10,000 of net taxable income (total tax on first $10,000 of net taxable income is $340) plus six percent of the excess of net taxable income over $10,000. Single Return: One to five percent of the first $7,000 of net taxable income (total tax on the first $7,000 of net taxable income is $230) plus six percent of the excess of net taxable income over $7,000. Married Couple Filing Separate Return: One to five percent on the first $5,000 of net taxable income (total tax on the first $5,000 of net taxable income is $170) plus six percent of the excess of net taxable income over $5,000. http://www.etax.dor.ga.gov/taxguide/TSD_Tax_Guide_for_Georgia_Citizens_2007.pdf
That would be an income tax.
You pay tax on your adjusted gross income. This is not quite the same thing as gross income, but it's definitely not net either.
Gross income: the overall income, from which expenses and tax are not yet deducted. Net income: the pure income, left after deducting all expenses and tax. Taxable income: the income before tax, deducted all expenses except tax.

How do you calculate pre-tax net operating income
"Write offs" are slang for items that you deduct from your tax income or obligations. For example, if you have investment income of $100 but have a loss of $10 you can "net" the loss against the income. Or, as another example, if you pay fees of $12 for your IRA account, that fee is allowed to be "written off" the income.
You can deduct investment interest up to the amount of net investment income received. You report this on Schedule A using Form 4952 as a back-up computation. Defining net investment income can get a bit tricky. In general, it includes gross income from investment property (such as interest, dividends, short-term capital gains, and elected long-term capital gains), less any investment expenses (which might include expenses for investment publications and similar things).
Of course, not all investments are tax exempt. Investment income is generated by either the income it produces during the ownership of the investment (e.g., interest, dividends, or rent) or the gain it produces when the investment is sold at an appreciated value.
