CURRENT annual income is calculated as follows:

 

Gross pay from latest pay stub multiplied by number of pay periods in a year (12 months).   Current annual income is the income you will earn over the next 12 months....not what was earned last year if you are a W-2 employee.

While the above is the normal formula, the OP says he is not expecting to work the full year.  He also already filed an I-864 and must have stated a current income.  Knowing how he did it already would be helpful.  I expect he also has some sort of plan as to how many pay periods he actually expects to work during the next twelve months.  There is no magic answer to his question without further information.

It's good you have a qualified joint sponsor, but your own affidavit must be accurate as possible.  Your 2024 income is not your "current income".  Yes, it's the number to enter in the tax section but not the number for current annual income you are using to qualify.  My advice is to have a plan for how many pay periods you will be working during the 12 months starting the day you sign your updated I-864, and calculate what that income would be.  The only difference in that formula and the standard one is that you will multiply the gross income by a smaller number.

These two obvious mistakes in your first affidavit (current income and not counting your child in the household) indicate to me you failed to study and follow the I-864 instructions. If you didn't follow them, chances are your joint sponsor didn't either.  Time to become an A-Student of those instructions, and redo and re-submit both affidavits and their updated supporting documentation.
