I-864 Clarification

[IPv6Freely 64]

On the I-864, for section 25 "Federal income tax return information", my wife (the US citizen) filed single in 2008 (and we list only her income). In 2009 and 2010, we filed as joint married. Should we be using the adjusted gross income from our joint federal tax return for 2009 and 2010, then?

Thanks.

if you married in 2008 then you file as married jointy.i just looked at your date of marriage 10/16/2009, ok the taxes for 2009 you filed married,and 2010 you put both your gross income togather,file married jointy is a better refund,

I'm not asking for tax advice... I'm asking if I should just be using my wifes income, or if we should be using the adjusted gross income for our entire return in 2010 and 2009.

Just using her info unless you're signing an I-864A to permit her to use your income in her I-864. If she meets the requirements alone I wouldn't waste time including your info. Remember to include either FULL tax returns or IRS transcripts to make sure you don't forget anything.
