    For items 6a-c, copy exactly the numbers reported in your tax returns -- the line for Total Income if you filed form 1040/1040A, or the line for AGI if you filed form 1040EZ.  No need for an I-864A from your wife.

     

    The income that you make individually should be listed on item 4.  Note that it should be your CURRENT annual income, not the income you made in 2020.  Your current income should be calculated from a recent paystub or copied from your employment letter.  Details on page 7 of https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864ezinstr.pdf

     

    Thank you!! So just to confirm - it is alright if I put in the total income from 1040 in 6a-c *even though* the most recent one (2020) was filed jointly with my wife(the immigrant beneficiary I'm sponsoring with this affidavit)? I suppose I can just add a cover letter explaining it is joint, while also including both of our W2's to indicate how much of the joint amount was hers/mine?

    i864EZ Question About Most Recent Tax Year

    in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas

    Hello Everyone!

     

    I'm a US citizen currently filling out the i864EZ to sponsor my wife, who is a current F1 student (we got married last year). 

    My wife has maintained legal status throughout her F1 as a student, and she has worked part-time on-campus throughout the years. Since we got married last year, we filed taxes jointly last year.

     

    In Part 5 of the form, where it asks to list three most recent federal tax years+income - do I put in the amount shown on our joint tax return, or simply the amount I individually made (which I would subtract from the joint)? 

    IF I do have to indicate the joint amount, would my wife (who is also the beneficiary and the immigrant I'm trying to sponsor with this form) have to fill out a supplement form? Would that not be redundant?

     

    The amount I individually made is above the required guidelines, but I'm not sure if for the sake of clarity I input our joint amount or just mine. I'll attach the tax documents and W2's to not confuse them, but I just want to make sure there won't be any confusion.

     

    Thank you for your help!
