I am trying to fill out form I-864. I am sponsoring my daughter-in-law, who is coming to the US with my son.
I am having trouble with Part 6, Question 13.
I have checked the box and obtained a tax transcript for the last year.
My husband retired a year ago, but is not drawing any income. We have always filed out income tax return jointly. I do not know how to provide numbers for questions 13a, b, and c because our tax returns report these figures as joint income, my husband's and mine.
Do I use the combined numbers on our tax returns for those years? Won't it look odd if I suddenly have a much lower income this year?
Why do I even have to put numbers in those boxes if I'm providing a tax transcript for last year?
I don't want the form to be rejected, but I really don't know how to proceed here.
