Joint Sponsor - Joint Taxes

[BlueRaiderUK 0]

So, my joint sponsor is well above the poverty guidelines, but he filed a joint tax return with his spouse last year.

What do I state for Q. 24 b for the current I-864?

Do I have to put his spouse's income too, even though we're not using that? By the way it's written, it points to yes, but then she'd have to use an I-864A, but we don't need to use her income to supplement the affidavit.

Also what do I put for Total Household Income? Just his income, or both together? I mean I don't want the total income from both to be considered to be meeting the Poverty guidelines, just his.

Sorry if this seems silly, I've been out of status for 5 months, and I want it to be done correctly.

Thanks, Michael

BlueRaiderUK,

I don't see the problem. If you (and he) want just he to be the Joint Sponsor then you put only his financial information on his I-864. Leave out any of her financial information, including joint assets.

Hi.

My mom is in a similar position. The form makes it a bit confusing if you have someone who filed taxes with their spouse, but are the joint sponsor. On line 25 it asks for your total adjusted gross income from your tax form. Does she just put her part or the combined?

We thought combined but then, does she list her husband as a on 24b to make up the difference? (her income alone would be on line 24a) Then put the total in 24c?

Sorry if this has been asked before, just couldn't find an answer.

THanks!

My mom put her's from her W2 in, and that was it. Didn't even put my dad's on the form, sent the W2s/taxes and we never had an issue.
