I-864EZ question19 help

[Savath 1]

Hello ALL,

Need help filling out I-864EZ

Line 18: This I know is my own current income alone, but line 19 is not clear to me.

I am married and filed joint income tax return 2008 and 2009 1040EZ with my husband.

Question:

Line 19 Checked Box

[ I have filed a Federal tax return for each of the three most recent tax years. I have attached the

required photocopy or transcript of my Federal tax return for only the most recent tax year.]

Q: Should I check the box or not since my husband and I filed only 2 years (instead of three) of income tax (2008 and 2009).

We did not have income in 2007 so we did not file. We have worked since 2008 till present.

[ My total income (adjusted gross income on IRS Form 1040EZ) as reported on my Federal tax

returns for the most recent three years was ]

Q: Is this joint income for both of us? and do I have to write a letter to explain that

we had no income for 2007 and therefore no income tax filed for that year?

Thanks
