Income (without this negative ) is on the low side (and getting a joint sponsor would be a good idea)

and SS income is not taxable and NVC only likes to consider the AGI (taxable)

i had issues as i live on an annuity which provides a good monthly income but taxes were paid on the invested money to buy the annuity and i am only liable for the interest plus my SSA is not taxable

i went to an attorney and he wrote  for me to have all my income considered 

With your income she would be eligible under the Affordable Care Act for marketplace insurance and you should check into these premiums and be prepared to show you can afford this

Thank you for giving me an example of what happened in your situation & i will check into it further. So were you able to Sponsor the immigrant & National Visa Center accepted your documents ?

Yes, others have submitted letters from CPA's.  Yes, your sources as income qualify as sources.

Thank you for your kind response. The minus number on my AGI / Total Income line is actually a Credit available to me to offset any Taxable Income i have each year. So  e.g. my Social Security is Non Taxable but my Pension & Interest Income/ Dividends are Taxable.I don't pay any taxes on them because of the credit i have & the credit is reduced by the amount of Taxable income. The following year my available Credit is less. This will continue till i exhaust al of  the Credit that i have available on the AGI Line as a negative number. I hope i have explained this as besti can in laymans terms.

I am a Retired US Citizen Sponsoring my wife & preparing the Affidavit of Support Form.

My Income total Income is $ 25,404. (combination of Social Security & a Pension Annuity from a private company) . I meet the income requirements for a household size of 2 

which is $ 21,550 for 2019. 

 

However, prior to my retirement i had Business & Investment losses from 2008-2009 ( Financial Crisis). So i have a NET OPERATING LOSS Carryforward  per IRS Regulations that is applied to any Taxable income i have each year.

After adjusting for this Credit my Total adjusted Gross Income each year shows as a negative (minus) number on my Tax Return. 

I don't want this to be confused as a LOSS number. 

I have  a Record of Account transcript from the IRS that shows that the Negative (Minus) number is a credit for my Taxes. 

So If i attach this IRS Record of Account in the Additional Information page of the i-864 form will that be the place to attach it with an explanation ? 

Has anyone else applied when they had a NOL ( Net Operating Loss Carryforward) ? 

Thanks for any helpful replies.

Assuming this carryover minus will continue next year, your current income could also be considered negative.  You can make a case for qualifying and state your current income as you have.  Maybe it will fly.  It's going to be a judgment call.  I would submit a letter of explanation that this is a carryover loss, that only impacts your tax liability, not your financial stability.

Thank you kindly..I can contact my CPA who has been preparing my Tax Returns for  Decades & have him write a letter of explanation regarding my situation.  ( have others submitted letters from a CPA to explain their situations)

Social Security Benefits & Pensions do qualify as sources of Income to Sponsor your spouse for a visa ??  I have the SS Benefits Statement & also the Pension Benefits Letter.

OP - I assume you're on Medicare?  You will want to have a plan in place for your wife's health insurance, since she won't be eligible for Medicare.

Thank you & yes we plan on getting her her own private Insurance.

Also,

 

You may want to remove your tax account transcript from your post.  I know it doesn't show your entire SSN, name and address, but there is enough that someone with malicious intent can utilize.

 

Thank you again ... I do not see an option to remove an attachement. Can you provide me info on how to do that ?

Hi,

 

Yours is a pretty unusual situation, so I am not sure how NVC or CO will evaluate your current income and previous years' tax returns.

 

One thing I noticed, however.  That is the wrong transcript.  They will need your Tax Return Transcript.  That transcript will show Total Income in addition to AGI.

 

Do you have sufficient assets?  The minimum is 3x the difference between the 125% poverty amount and your current income, which they could evaluate as 0.  But more is better in the eyes of immigration.

 

 

Thank you !! Yes  this is not the correct Transcript for NVC submission but I posted it to show how AGI shows up on my Tax Return Transcript.. The Tax Return Transcripts that will be submitted will show all the details including my Social Security Benefits & the 1099 for my Income from my Pension. As proof of Income I have the Social Benefits Letter & the Annuity Benifits Letter from the Private Company. Additionally, the IRS also provides a Wage & Income Transcript for each year with that information.  I do have sufficient liquid cash in savings/checking plus an IRA with Cash + Stocks available as well.
