affividated of support

[sabrina01 0]

I have 3 questions...

I have 2 jobs and child support and that just makes me above the 125% for the poverty line!

1.I just got my 2nd job about 1 month ago,is that going to go against me as proof of income or is there no timeline on how long you have a job?

2.Can I use my child support that i recieve on a monthly basis as income on my papers for my husband?

3.I got a w-2 for 2005 but I didn't file my tax with the irs because my income was to low,so what should i do for this?

example: I filed a single/seperate tax return for the most recent tax year?

I am submitting documentation of my individual income (forms w-2 or 1099)? which would i choose?

Here's what I know...

1. I don't believe your second job will "hurt" you. You need to prove you are working and paying taxes consistently. Although you haven't been employed long, it can't hurt you.

2. As far as income, receiving child support is part of your income. I had to fill in any and all income I receive. Although I don't receive child support, I do have savings bonds and things like that I had to include. I think including any sort of income can only help you.

3. Taxes might be a problem for you. You have to include your taxes for the past THREE years-2003, 2004, 2005. You are supposed to file taxes regardless of how much you make. It shows that you are employed and a taxpayer. I couldn't find my 2003 taxes, but my lawyer said we needed them, so I had to contact the IRS and get a copy. I was a full-time student at the time and thought maybe we could just say that I didn't work and just went to school, but no, I had to submit my taxes.

Do you have taxes for any of the other years? You could probably try and submit what you have and see if they come back to you requesting more information. Your other choice may be to have someone else co-sponsor your husband.

sabrina,

1. Your new job should help you. Neutral at worst if you've only had it for a short time.

2. My thoughts, and they may not be worth anything are

- show the child as fully dependent and include the child support, or

- show the child as partially dependent and do not inculde the child support

If you include the child support you should document both that your ex-husband is required to pay it and that he does, in fact, pay it. (Income that you don't receive is not income.)

3. The problem with no tax returns is not that you didn't file them, because you are not required to file them if your income is below a minimum threshhold. Rather, your problem is that your historical income is below the minimum threshhold for filing tax returns - not a very good indication that your current income level is sustainable.

so basicaly the best thing for me is to have a cosponsor? do i have any option?

[sabrina01 0]

does someone know what option do i have?

It seems that your best option to avoid any delays would be to have someone co-sponsor your partner rather than you. It seems that being able to prove you earn an income (above the specified poverty level) and pay taxes is quite crucial in this process. They want to make sure that your partner will not move to the US, and then live off goverment assisted programs. They want you to prove that you can support this person if needed.
