Does business income (1040 no.12) can be count as an income ? my co-sponsor has a salary $ 10,600 and he has business income $ 9,255. Will USCIS count the business income?
2. My co-sponsor got compensation from ministry be designed as housing allowance for IRS reporting purposes.
Will USCIS count the business income?
Business income is business income. For some people, that's all they have. Neither the IRS, USCIS or DOS suspects people are overstating their income on their tax returns for the purpose of fraudulently
paying additional taxes.
Self employed people are asked to provide three years of tax returns. Tax transcripts are preferred, easily obtainable and free.
