Ok that might be a problem. You should start working on getting a cosponsor. They will require most recent tax return and will also ask for earnings for previous 3 years for your i-864.

Not really an issue as the OP currently seems to be over the guidelines.

There is NO such rule but the USCIS is now claiming that they can deny you for misrepresentation if you do something inconsistent with the terms of your non immigrant status within 90 days of entering

Hmm what would you suggest we do to avoid any problems? We're just afraid of missing the wedding party that we initially had planned in Canada for March. We thought that the sooner we file, the less l

There is no financial loss, that money is spent, you are asking to expedite to attend a party, that does not meet any of the requirements.

Oh is this necessary? I thought the purpose of the cosponsor was to ensure I would be making enough to support my wife ? What if I’m able to provide a job offer letter to prove my salary? 

It is a process thing. The i-864 form asks for tax return for most recent year and incomes for last 3 years. So even if you can show that you now make enough to support your wife the USCIS can still deny you if you cant provide the previous years taxes income. You can fight them on this or you can find a co sponsor.

Hmm does getting a cosponsor change anything for my processing time ? Also what are the requirements, do they have to be a US citizen or PR?

The guidelines you speak of are the 125% over poverty line ? I’m not aware of how I could possibly get tax return records if I didn’t have any

Processing time will not change..........any USC or PR can be joint sponsor........you will have to indicate why you weren't required to file.

Hmm okay. I may just look into perhaps some relatives that live in different states. I just didn’t file taxes because I didn’t make the threshold annual salary to file , I believe it’s $12,000? I was in school and didn’t make any money besides pocket money from tutoring.

Yes it is a lot easier to get a co sponsor than try to reason with the USCIS especially lately. As long as they are a PR or USC they dont have to be relatives even friends/coworkers and strangers if you can convince them.

is there a difference?

  A joint sponsor is part of the I-864.  It is the legal definition as described by the USCIS and correct terminology when referring to the I-864 joint sponsor. 

https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/affidavit-support

 

In general it is okay to refer to an I-134 joint sponsor as a co-sponsor as the affidavit of support is not legally binding.  But in reality it is also a joint sponsor.  On VJ we allow the disparity  so that we can differentiate between which forms people are talking about.

I do it when I wish to pendantly obnoxious, so quite often. I seem to have missed the opportunity here.
