Affidavit of Support

[Andyrew 1]

I am a disabled vet and have no tax records. What do I need to show income besides bank statements.

you still file taxes right? You would show your return or evidence that proves that you do not have to file taxes.

I have tax records for 08. I am now back filing for 09 and filing for 10. I do have a generated letter from the VA stating my condition and my monthly income.

Who do I get to verify I do not have to file taxes?

i am pretty sure you will need a co-sponsor if you do not make 125% of the poverty line. Is your income all non-taxable? As a US citizen you have to file taxes unless you make under a certain amount (taxable or not). In that case you would need a co-sponsor to help you qualify.

Disabled also, had interview Jan 03, 2011, I do not pay taxes, since disability income is under $25,000 (mine $19,824).

All I took with me were award letters and/or SSA 1099's to show previous years disability income.

I also took a copy of of page 7 of the SSA Pubilcation No. 05-10153, June 2010, ICN 480165 that talks about taxation amount, just in case I had

a CO unfamiliar with the rules. I was really worried since everyone is only talking about W-2's and pay stubs. There did not seem to be any problems

or issues.

You would supply the info that you are not required to file a tax return. Simply quote the appropriate part of the IRS rules/guidelines (provide that info via photcopy or cite) and provide proof that you fall under those parameters.
