Confused about Lines 19a-19c on Form I-864

[MandyAlex 32]

I'm filling out USCIS form I-864 Affidavit of Support for AOS from K-1 visa and need clarification regarding lines 19.a thru 19.c on page 6. 

 

Do these questions apply only if you file IRS form 1040 EZ? Are these questions related to question 18.b which is optional information? I always file my taxes under IRS form 1040 and I'm not sure if I need to list my total income (adjusted gross income) as listed on my form 1040 for my most recent tax year (2016), plus 2nd and 3rd most recent years when using form 1040. Thanks in advance for clarifying these questions for me.

No, you have to fill these out. It's only required to send along tax return+w2 (or IRS tax transcript) to support the most recent year (19a), but you have to fill them all out.

If you are a regular employee that receives a w2 you report line 22 total income if you filed 1040 and line 4 AGI if you filed 1040ez. Make sure they match exactly the corresponding income line.

Thanks so much for the clarification, appreciate it very much.
