You should enter your pre-tax total income. If your family filed a 1040 tax form, your total income is located on line 22. You should include all sources of income for each individual contributor, including wages/salary, rental income, government benefits (TANF, SSI, etc.), spousal/child support, and/or interest and dividends.
