Op, and in this case you'll definitely need a co-sponsor for sure. Read up on I-864 affidavit of support and prepare yourself.

Aside from  requirements for immigration    petitions  USA citizens aren’t required to file tax returns unless they owe taxes.  Give the foreign earned income exclusion is about $100K, based on your posts you are fine.

The above is not correct.  They are required to file if their total worldwide income is above the filing threshold whether they owe taxes or not.

What is the penalty for filing late or not filing when nothing is owed?
