I-864 overseas, tax question

[Brewlin 52]

Hi, I am working on this lovely form I-864. My husband is the USC. He's been living overseas with me the last 3 years, and he's been doing the TurboTax to file taxes but has paid none to the U.S, as he hasn't had any U.S income. Since part 6. 13a-13c-1 is asking for total income in $, should we write "0"?. Thank you

Yes you should write 0 on that since its foreign earned income.

Thanks

Not necessarily, you should write whatever is your total income from your tax return transcript or tax return, even if it's negative.

Alright, that makes sense! Will just have to wait for the transcript to arrive to us first then. Thanks for your help

What ever amount is on your 1040 line 22. My husband has that line 0 because all of his earnings are foreign earned.

Great, thanks everyone.
