questions about financial support

[sammi608612 1]

hey guys,

here are my new questions

1. i have order tax return transcript from irs. it is the necessary document, rt? are there some differences between tax return transcript and tax transcript?

2. my husband asks his uncle as co sponsor. his uncle works for a restaurant ( earn small amount of money), but as a shareholder of another restaurant ( where he gets great profits). on the i 184 form, he wrote emplyed as a chef. besides, he wrote an explain letter, which he noted he is also a shareholder of another restaurant.

so my question is, is it available to do so? and does my husband's uncle need to prepare some document to prove he is shareholder of another restaurant?

waiting for reply... thanx...

USCIS prefers the tax transcripts. They will accept a complete copy of the tax return (including all supporting documents).

The uncle/ joint sponsor needs to supply his most recent tax return to show that his income on line 22 is sufficient. That is where his income from the other restaurant will be shown. A letter stating that he is a shareholder will not be sufficient.

as to 'great profits' -

one years worth of a quarterly profit and loss statement, prepared and certified by a cpa, will be useful.

It must clearly show the uncles monies paid out to him each quarter

also, he's supposed to DECLARE that money on another tax form, sent to him by the partnership.

[sammi608612 1]

yes. his money got from investment is also shown in tax return transcript , as schedule e, i think..

will it be useful now?

one more question,

to determin if his uncle is qualified to be a co sponsor, i can look at the "adjusted gross income" in the tax return transcript. rt?

besides, wts the meaning of line 22?

[Darnell 8,478]

yes. his money got from investment is also shown in tax return transcript , as schedule e, i think..

will it be useful now?

.

alas, no, not useful now.

It might have been useful if it was included in his I-864 submittal.

But now? no. Is too late.

[sammi608612 1]

i havent submitted his i 864 yet.

so how could he file his i 864 correct?

can you give me some ideas.

thanx darnell..

[Darnell 8,478]

have the uncle fill out, completely, the I-864.

It sounds like his TAX RETURN INFO is all you need (must be complete, though)

[sammi608612 1]

darnell. the problem for his uncle is... his uncle is lpr, he dont know too much english. i have all his tax return transcript in hand ( 2008, 2009, 2010).. and i think i will help him to fill it out, and then ask him to sign it..

but i am also confused about how to complete.

do u know where i can find some instruction?

The OP actually asked if there was a difference between a tax return transcript and a "tax transcript". The tax return transcript is what is needed. I'm not familiar with a "tax transcript" but there is a "tax payments transcript" that will not serve the purpose.

Yes, a joint sponsor with self employment income, documents their income with a tax return.

his uncle is not only shareholder but also employee by other company...

his income is reflected in his tax return transcript, and usually consists of two parts.

one is wages, salaries, tips, etc...

another one is rent/royalty/partnership/estate(schedule e) ..

and his adjusted gross income is enough to sponsor me.

so will it be fine if i only scan tax return transcript to nvc?

besides, i am confused how to help his fill one question in i864 form ,part6

22..i am currently

a. employed as______

b self employed as____

so his uncle should fill both or just the first or the second one?

The income number you state from the tax return transcript is the one called, "Total Income", not adjusted gross income, though it's possible the numbers may be the same or very close. The transcript will be fine as long as your uncle is not filing jointly with his spouse. If he is, you need an I-864a from the spouse.

If your question about 22 is for the uncle. Check both boxes and indicate in the first one, he's employed as chef and on the self employed, as an "investor".

the filing status in his tax return transcript is married filing joint..

however,

his total income, which includes wages and partnership i mentioned before, is exactly as the same as the adjusted gross income.

so i think his wife doesnt need to file 1 864a

is it correct?

btw...

in the form i 864

question 23.

my current individual annual income is:___//

can the number be a roughly number? i mean we just can estimate the number according to the past years' income , rt?

For somebody with any portion of their income coming from self employment, you state their current income as their total income from the most recently filed tax return. So, if doing the affidavit now, it's the 2010 return. After April, it would be the 2011 return. They file jointly, so yes, have the wife provide the I-864a to be on the safe side.
