Getting a qualifying joint sponsor appears to be the solution.

Presuming that you stayed after entering in this way, this thread is moved from General Immigration Discussion to the "AOS from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas" main forum, to be among similar topics.

Look at the I864 instructions at the top of page 9 (for some reason, I cannot copy it on my tablet).  It explains what to do if the person submitting the I864 (your spouse in this case) is not required to file taxes.  He will need to include an explanation as to why and include it with the I864.

 

Good Luck!

A petitioner must submit either tax documents for the most recent tax year or a valid explanation as to why he/she was not required to file taxes.  No way around that requirement....even a joint sponsor will not overcome it.   Perhaps the petitioner's income was below the threshold for filing.  That can be explained easily enough.

All businesses except partnerships must file an annual income tax return. Partnerships file an information return. The form you use depends on how your business is organized

someone (USC) who didnt file tax for the past 2 years (2021-2022)  got RFE for i-864 when he filed for his mother 2 months ago. 

 

situation : 

1. he didnt make enough for the past 2 years 

2. he need joint sponsor ( that he never submit in the initial submission)

3. this person said " i had a business and i lost / didnt make money. therefore i didnt file tax"

 

i told him to go to CPA to file that tax 2021-2022. and suddenly voila, he can produce tax return report that he got from CPA.

he cant produce tax transcript, something about website is closed for the moment to file tax ? ( not clear), but AFAIK, even when u lost for ur business, u still need to file tax no matter what, even when he finally got joint sponsor who made more than enough.
