Hello, I have the following questions for i-864 Affadavit of Support form:

21. Your Household Size - DO NOT COUNT ANYONE TWICE

a. Enter the number you entered on line 10.

c. If you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse.

If I enter "0" for 21c, because my spouse is counted in 21a, am I implying that I am not married?

25. Federal income tax return information.

My total income (adjusted gross income on IRS Form 1040EZ) as reported on my Federal tax returns for the most recent three years was...

Do I count current year (I have filed my taxes). So that would be 2012, 2011 and 2010?

Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size

Can anyone tell me where the poverty guidelines have been outlined?

Thanks!

This is the correct answer. You don't count your spouse twice, they were already counted as the intended immigrant.

Do I count current year (I have filed my taxes). So that would be 2012, 2011 and 2010?

Yes.

Yes.

Well, yes you enter 0 for spouse and no, you are not implying you aren't married.

You could not have possibly filed a 2012 tax return. The tax return you filed this year was for 2011, so 2011 is the latest possible full year of income you could report. Enter 2009, 2010 and 2011 as the tax years and either adjusted gross from a 1040EZ or line 22 from a 1040.

However, 2011 is not necessarily your current income. It's a separate question, so answer it accurately.
