A family friend is co-sponsoring my husband for AOS, she is married and her husband is concerned about their tax liability for sponsorship. He was told that if he sponsored my husband, they would have to claim him as a dependent for tax purposes, and he would count as a dependent if they file for a home loan, etc. My husband is employed and pays his own taxes, is not dependent on anyone but himself, and I tried explaining that there is no tax liability, but I can't find any proof of this anywhere. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Told by whom?

Just read it, print it off and give it to him.

Quite self explanatory.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I will see if I can find something about it... but basically your husband would ONLY need to be listed as a household member if the person filled out another I-864. Unless he does, he never needs to worry about your husband being his "tax liability".

I think you should have to print the I-864 form and show him. After reading the entire form he will get the idea that he will not be dependent on him on tax returns.

a dependent for tax purposes is someone you provide over 50% of their yearly living costs and meet a whole bunch of other requirements. Unless they are shelling out money and your husband meet a while bunch of other requirements they should worry. Have them read 1040 instructions under Who is a depandant

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Thanks... they do have all of the paperwork and have read them, but have been advised by their father (who is uninvolved in the process) that it could cause issues. Maybe I need to go about it by looking up requirements for being a dependent for tax purposes...

Perhaps the Father could expand on his comments.

Sounds like he does not like the idea and is just causing trouble.
