1. Self employed 

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. I-864a

5. Online is better option 

6. 2017 is not an issue if 2018, 2019 and current income is over 125%

hi

 

no mailing, there is no option.  you will fill out the i864, your husband the i864A as your household member

I read some online that if you are filling tax jointly with your spouse and your income combined then your spouse not need to fill up I-864A? Is it true? 

Plus we own a business and he also have a second job but his income also combined in our tax..kind a really confusing what to do..

@pushbrk is a great resource and expert on affidavit of support related questions. Maybe he can correct me if I am wrong.

My understanding is that if you are filing tax jointly, then I-864A is required .  Your business income should already  be included in the tax that he filed together with you. Make sure to include tax transcripts instead of tax returns.

It is "best practice" for married couple filing jointly to provide the I-864a.  Tax RETURN transcripts if available.  There are at least 3 types of tax transcripts but only one that is acceptable.

I do have 2017 and 2018 tax transcript but not 2019 I have to request I just filed our tax.so Mr Pushbrk you mean just form I-864A and not I-864 or I need both? If I need both what number should I put in my spouse income since our income combine included also his income from his other job? I am really sorry to bother I am done in civil documents just the Affidavit of support I cant start to fill up till I am sure of everything.

Married joint sponsors provide I-864 and I-864a.  Since you are self employed and the self employment is a partnership between the two of you, I would decide who will be the joint sponsor and who will be the household member.  If you are the joint sponsor, put all the business income (Total Income line on 2019 tax return) as YOUR income.  Add his separate income to that on his I-864a.

Total Income line not the adjusted gross income that on our 1040?

Yes, but those numbers may be the same.  Often they are.  You only use AGI if you file a 1040EZ.  Clearly, you do not.

The entire tax return including all schedules.  Everything you would have mailed if you filed by mail.
