On I-864 when they want Annual income , is that the Annual income without taxes taken out?

Also I didn't make any income before 2009 and I just started this new first/job in June 2010, I got tax transcripts as proof of non-filing so do I just leave it blank where they ask for income for last three tax years? I figured writing "see transcripts" in red ink would suffice?

Anyone who can answer this I thank you greatly!

Jen and Geert,

Annual income in other words is the "Total Income" is the entry in I-864. This amount is basically without any deductions and taxes for 1040 filers. So, you will have to enter your pre-tax annual income there.

It will be good to attach last 3 years tax transcripts. Don't leave it blank. Enter the year and $0. Also, write an explanation in the cover letter or so why you didn't file taxes in the prior years.

As a first job (may be after graduation) is ok, but "may be" questionable. Very high income in this year "may" offset that negative part. However, I suggest you to do the below, if possible:

1) Add a co-sponsor if found

2) Add US petitoner's asset (33.33% of total will be considered) or intending immigrant's asset (20% of the total will be considered)

Good luck!

I forgot to mention I'm adding my mother who's worked at the same job for 30 years as my joint sponsor she makes a lot more than even required for a household size of 3 so I took into consideration from the beginning that my "new" job could be considered a bit volitile (but I am working full time and plan to keep this job for the forseeable future) when they are reviewing the I-864, but I will also be including my pay stubs since June as well as the Tax transcripts and all required Doc's for I-864A join sponsor etc.

Thanks for the tips as I just needed some confirmation that I was doing this right, better to get it the first time than an RFE
