I-864 Joint Sponsor

[bastion5000 0]

Hello! I have a question about my joint sponsor's income. He is married, and filed taxes jointly with his wife. I wanted to use IRS transcript as its more convenient, but its both their income there. I saw somewhere that in this case you can just include W2 with transcript if using only his income and it should be fine. My question is, in this case, part 6 q 24 should I ask him to get gross income from returns from past 3 years and put it there? My only concern is -  if I do transcripts + W2, this gross income is not going to be anywhere on paper as it's not on W2. Thank you

Question 24 asks for Total Income.

 

Adjusted Gross Income is only if a 1040ez was used, but this form was discontinued in 2018.

 

You will write exactly what's in the transcript.
