I've decided to go ahead and try to fill out the 944.
I am the petitioner and she is the beneficiary. I believe it's filled out by her and from her POV right?
On it, i have to include my 2019 gross income as part of her household (she has no income and no assets btw). I'm (we're?) supposed to meet the 4household minimum threshold of $26,200.
I came back to the USA last year may and started working in June. I'd been away since I was a teenager (2008) and so i obviously didn't have any income to file taxes with for 11 years. The money made in the few months I worked last year is a little less than $19,000. I have a letter from my employer saying my salary is about $36,000 plus i also have a part-time job which puts my total income at about $50,000. However, my 2019 tax returns obviously don't reflect this.
I don't have any assets here. I think there's a house overseas that has my name on it but i don't have the title to that, just a sale agreement. I'm gonna work under the assumption that I don't have this to put on the form.
So have I screwed myself by not making the minimum, despite the fact that I will make it this year (i already have actually).
