I-864A questions, tax returns question

[Inna 0]

Hi. I have a few questions regarding affidavits of support:

1) Current annual income, is it supposed to be an approximate amount? My mother-in-law is not sure what to put in for this one, because she had a cut in her work hours during 4 months(from the end of february to the end of June). She is getting paid every 2 weeks, so her cut was from 10 working days to 9 working days(as of one pay stub). Since the end of June she is working full time 5 days a week again, but she has no idea what to put as he current annual income? Can it be a sum of what she has already earned plus the estimated amount she is going to earn in the next 6 months?

2) As far as the tax returns, she has verious additional forms she sent to the IRS attached to the tax return (example:"Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet-Line 70","Earned Income Credit", "Educational Credits", "Credit for Qualified Retirment Savings Contributions", and mortgage interest statement)-all of that is attachments to her federal tax return, do they need to be sent to USCIS,too?

3)Your income for the past 3 years: should the amounts be taken from the line "Adjusted Federal Gross Income" on the tax returns or from a different line?

Thank you all in advance!

Take what she is earning now and project it out for a year. That will give you the annual income.

2) As far as the tax returns, she has verious additional forms she sent to the IRS attached to the tax return (example:"Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet-Line 70","Earned Income Credit", "Educational Credits", "Credit for Qualified Retirment Savings Contributions", and mortgage interest statement)-all of that is attachments to her federal tax return, do they need to be sent to USCIS,too?

In this case, I would recommend she contacts the IRS and have them fax/mail over her tax transcripts (get the last three years) - it's free. They will have everything she will need to provide as evidence.

3)Your income for the past 3 years: should the amounts be taken from the line "Adjusted Federal Gross Income" on the tax returns or from a different line?

You list gross income BEFORE all the deductions, line 22 on his 1040

Thank you all in advance!
