i-864a one parent joint tax return

[antenka 0]

Hi,

We've just found out that we need additional sponsor. My mother-in-law agreed to be a co-sponsor. The situation is as follows:

1. she is a household member

2. she files a federal tax return jointly with my father-in-law

3. she has sufficient income to be the co-sponsor - we don't need to involve my father-in-law.

Does she file a i-864a form on her own or do we have to include my FIL in the process and so, he has to file an i-864a too, due to the their joint tax return?

If she can file i-864a on her own, what amount do we fill in in Part 1. 11 as the total income(adjusted gross income) as my parents-in-law have a joint tax return. Do we just use the amount indicated in W2 form?

Please inform.

Thanks in advance

Yes, she files the I-864A on her own.

In Part 1 #10 you put the amount on her W2, and on #11 you put the amount from the joint tax returns.

Be sure to include copies of the the joint tax return and her individual W2.

Good luck
