This should tell you all you need to know, in detail: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/support/instructions.html

Basically you can use the EZ form if all of your income comes just from W2 forms, you don't have a co sponsor, and you are petitioning for only one person. The catch is you must hit all three criteria before you can use form I-864EZ.

In my wife and I's journey, I had a form 1099 with interest income for my taxes the previous year so I used form I-864 and not the EZ form.

We used the I-864EZ and it's much easier to use if you meet the requirements.
