AOS Checklist - Form I-864A

[jsmn 5]

We received a checklist from NVC for our co-sponsor's I-864A.

[x] Co-sponsor's income indicated on line 11 of the I-844A does not correspond to that shown on the most recent tax return and W-2(s).

My mother-in-law is a disabled veteran. Her income is from VA benefits and SS disability benefits. Since she is exempt from filing taxes and doesn't have W-2s or tax returns, we left that portion blank in the original AOS packet. (We included a letter why she is tax exempt.)

For the new form, should we put 0.00 for all the three most recent tax years since she is tax exempt? Or put her income from her VA benefits & SS benefits for each year there? Getting confused. >.< Please help!
