I had a question on the Affidavit of Support regarding a situation where the I make enough money to sponsor my relative, but my taxes are filed jointly. What documents would I need to submit in this scenario?
Here are the questions:
1. Sponsor's annual income (Part 6, Q2): What should I list in the individual annual income? (Do I put the number that I have put in the joint tax return for 2016?).
2. Most recent income (Part 6, Q19a, b, c): What do I list in the Total Income for each Tax year? (just Sponsor's income, or the income listed in IRS which is jointly filed?). And which tax years should I include, given 2016 tax year was just filed by me.
3. I've just filed 2016 taxes, and they probably won't be part of the tax transcript that I plan on submitting. What do I submit for the 2016 taxes?
I was thinking of submitting the following:
- tax transcripts for the 2013, 2014 ,2015 (just filed 2016 and these may not be available)
- my w2 for 2016
- one I-864
Is that enough, or do I need something else?
Appreciate the help all!
