I-864 Question 25

My husband filed 1040 which states that his Adjusted Gross Income is around 10,000 USD. However, 1040 Schedule C shows that his Gross Income is around 22,000 USD. Which one can I put as an answer to Question 25 of I-864 Form?

Thank you in advance.

Dated since 2004, 10/22/2008 Married in NY, wife left the country, returns on 01/06/2009 as a visitor (granted stay until July 2009)

01/26/2009 USCIS sent out NOA1, 01/28/2009 Moneygrams Order cashed

02/24/2009 Case is in Vermont Processing Center (told by the USCIS by calling the free phone line)

03/05/2009 NVC Received Case / Case number assigned

03/12/2009 DS-3032 / AOS fee bill generated and e-mailed to us, 03/12/2009 I e-mailed and snail mailed DS-3032 and paid AOS fee bill online

03/18/2009 NVC received DS-3032 and it was entered into the system (I never received email confirmation)

Thank you in advance.

Form 1040 is for U.S. Individual Income Tax Return and if you have business then attach Form 1040 Schedule C, which is for Profit or Loss from Business (Sole Proprietorship).

On form I-864, question # 25: Always write “adjusted gross income”.

I miss her - The instructions clearly state to use the gross income if you are using from 1040 to submit your tax returns. If you use 1040EZ then you use the adjusted gross income. So it is not always the adjusted gross income.

From the instructions on the I-864:

"For purposes of this affidavit, the line for gross (total) income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A will be considered whendetermining income. For persons filing IRS Form 1040 EZ,the line for adjusted gross income will be considered."
