Husband (Petitioner) did not file taxes (I-864)

[frankiebean 9]

Hi,

 

I'm filling out the I-864 form for my husband who is sponsoring me. However, he has not filed his taxes in the past year. Is this going to be a problem? How should I proceed?

 

We make enough income separately (I'm working in the US on a TN visa) that meeting the requirement shouldn't be a problem.

He needs to file his taxes, or you can NOT proceed.

If the income does not meets requirement to file tax, then you're not required to file. When you fill out i864, attacked an explain why you not file tax and send along another i864 of join sponsor.

are you using your or his income or joint income? He still needs to file taxes albeit late.

We are doing joint income, although I could probably just use mine. My income is ~$100k and his is well above mine. Do I still need to add his if mine is sufficient?

He is and must be the principal sponsor as it is the spouse relationship with him, the USC, which allows you to be eligible to aply to immigrate.

He must complete the I864, which requires presenting evidence of his tax returns for the past 3 years, including the tax transcripts from the most recent tax year, 2017. He must file the tax return and get the tax transcript or return in order to file the complete application,

Was he not planning to file taxes, or has an extension and hasnt yet filed?

Needs to see his CPA and get caught up.

Sharing my experience: my husband wasn't required to file taxes and he didn't. When when we were preparing my AOS application in June we also filed his taxes via turbotax  just for sake to attach it to my application. My husband was not required to file taxes because he wasn't in US last year, we was staying with me abroad off his savings. To show that he is now back in US, working and capable financially we provided a cover letter explaining all his situation, attached tax returns for past 3 years (where they can see he was having decent income) and pay stubs from recent 6 months to show that his income right now is sufficient and that his expected annual income will be well above of what is required. I hope this will work for USCIS ;-)
