You don't need to write anything; however, you will probably be required to have a joint sponsor.

Hello,

I can easily say that you will need a sponsor someone that is legally related to you in the US. You will need a letter explaining the reason why you have not filed in the last three years. But I'm also still trying to nail down the letter part because everyone is telling me something different.

Thi is incorrect.

Since the OP did not file tax returns for the last three years, the OP must provide a signed declaration that the OP did not have any income and was therefore not required to file tax returns. Read the instructions for Form I-864.

The best place to make the declaration is in the I-864 cover letter.

This is also incorrect.

There is no requirement that the Joint Sponsor be "someone legally related to the [OP] in the US."

A JS needs to be 1) over age 18 and 2) be a US citizen or LPR.

So a friend coul be the JS. It does not need to be "someone legally related" to the OP.

Zollo80, just tell them the truth about why you were unemployed and yes, you will need a joint sponsor.

The OP does not need to provide a reason why he was unemployed.

The OP only need to provide a reason why the OP did not file tax returns for the last three years. The reason I simply - "I did no work. Under US tax laws, I was not required to file income tax returns because my income was below the legal threshold requiring me to file." That's it.
