Hello!

My 2012 taxes put me below the poverty guidelines because I had a full time job and did direct sales and with all the write offs put me just below the poverty guidelines. The two years prior to that I was above it. This year, I hardly do anything at all with the direct sales and rely solely on my full time job income, which is higher than the poverty guidelines.

My employer has already put together a letter stating I am a full time employee with a yearly income that exceeds the poverty guidellines and I am including all of this years paystubs.

Will the 864 be based off of this year's income or will the 2012 tax return come in to play that I was about $3000 shy of poverty guidelines?

Thanks in advance for your help!!! goofy.gif

Current income counts more than prior income.

Thank you! I'm hoping that's what they solely base it off of...if so, I should have no problem. Just wanted to ask for advice before I "assume" all is well and then I get something back holding the whole thing up. unsure.png

Current Income

Thank you!!! goofy.gif
