I-864 AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT FOR AOS

[MandL 12]

Hi Everyone!

I just want to ask, on I-864 as I'm confuse on Part 6 question 13A it says MY TOTAL INCOME AS REPORTED ON MY FEDERAL TAX FOR THE MOST RECENT 3 years was...

and down below it says Tax year and tax income

So does this mean that my husband needs to list his income from year 2012-2014? And do we also need to submit all Tax copy from 2012-2014 or just the latest one which is the 2014?

My husband didn't file tax for 2013 i hope we don't need to submit his previous Taxes.

Thank's!

Well, if you filed for 2012, put the amount from the 1040 form, in 2013, if his income was not reported, put $0 (if he didnt have income), and 2014, put what it was from the 1040.

It's mandatory to send copies of 1040 only for last year, 2014; the others are optional.

The petitioner will list their income tax for year 2014. If Tax Year 2014 is sufficient to prove that it's above 125% of the poverty level for the family, then that is all that needs to be submitted for income verification.

If is not sufficient then along with 2014 they will need to submit tax years 2013 and 2012. Further information can be found in the instructions for I-864.

Hi AlexandraDiana,

So for 2013 i have to put $0? Will i not be questioned for doing that? He went to school fulltime back in 2013 that's why he didn't file TAX but i'm afraid if I put $0 and explain he was student back then i'm afraid to receive RFE and proof of his transcript as he doesn't have it.

Hi Greenbaum,

What about for 2013? Should I put $0 as what AlexandaDiana said? He went to school fultime and doesn't have copy of his transcript. I'm afraid if i put $0 they might ask me to send further documents to prove he was student. I just don't want to receive RFE as i knownit will cause delay. I Hope Not.

If he meets or exceeds 125% of the poverty level for 2014 then there is no need for the additional two years of tax returns. Does he meet that criteria?

[AlexandraDiana 4]

Like Greenbaum says, if 2014 it's enough, the rest are optional;

[MandL 12]

If he meets or exceeds 125% of the poverty level for 2014 then there is no need for the additional two years of tax returns. Does he meet that criteria?

Yeah he is Above the poverty guidelines

We're only 2 in the household and as per poverty guidelines it's $19,912 for 2 people and his above this.

There's three boxes on the form I-864 should I just list down tax details for 2014 and leave the other 2 boxes blank? No need to put details for 2012 and 2013?

[MandL 12]

If he meets or exceeds 125% of the poverty level for 2014 then there is no need for the additional two years of tax returns. Does he meet that criteria?

For the first box it says list the MOST RECENT TAX

Second box says 2nd MOST RECENT TAX

Third Box says 3rd MOST RECENT TAX

So you're saying leave the 2nd box and 3rd box if we meet 125% poverty guidelines?

Sorry if I keep repeating myself i just wanna make sure I got it correctly.

Thank's Greenbaum.

if he filled taces for 2012, you put the amount shown in 1040 for that year, if he didn't file for 2012, put $0; also, for 2013, put the amount showed of the 1040 form, if not filed, put $0; in the end, for 2014, if he is above, like you said, put the amount shown on 1040 for 2014. You are only required to attach proof of income for most recent year, like 1040 form, 1099, w2s, bank statements, etc, depending of the situation.
