I have a couple of questions about non-taxable income for the I-864.  I filed taxes for the last 2 years (which I found out I was not even required to this year).  However on the 1040, under total income my Social Security (SSDI) does not total into "total income" because I did not have enough other income to make it taxable.  In addition, I have Veterans Compensation above this that I draw for being a 100% service connected disability, which is exempt from being reported on federal taxes.  Do I mark on the Affidavit of Support under the  income section  both the taxes were filed for the last 3 years and the box that my income was below taxable levels?  Also, on question 24 a-c what do I put in the boxes for yearly income there?  In addition, will I need a joint sponsor because all my income was non-taxable?  Also, I draw way above the 125% poverty guidelines that is required for income, but it is all non-taxable.  Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hey so you should put your income or if you didn't file put "not required to file" 

Your current income is different though and you should include your SSDI and your VA disability.  You will need to provide evidence of that income, bank statements SSDI and VA statements etc.

Correct, the SSDI declaration letter for 2020 and a similar VA document are the evidence of current income.  Your current income is those two monthly benefit amounts times 12.  No need for a joint sponsor.  They see this often and regularly and know how to deal with it.

What do I need to reflect on question 24 a-c total income?  Since I filed taxes and my other income was not high enough for my SSDI  to be counted in total income as taxable and my Veteran compensation is tax exempt?  Thanks again for the help!

Your current income is higher than your tax return income and thats okay.  You have the evidence for the CO to understsnd why.  Put the total income from your tax return (or AGI if you filed a 1040ez)

Sounds like zero.  No worries.  Your current income is the key.  Many disabled and/or retired veterans bringing spouses from abroad.  Consular Officers deal with this regularly.  Carry on.
