Can I send the Aos application without my husbands employment and income proof ?

[Freedove7 17]

My husband refuses to take the necessary steps to file for income taxes because of his pure laziness.For the past two years,he has been working in upscale nightclubs as a promoter.He gets paid with checks by various club owners, and doesnt bring home the same amount of money every week.I followed someone's advice on this forum and requested transcripts of his last 3 income tax returns(2008,2009', 2010). He usedto work in an office at that time...We called the IRS and asked about the proper steps to take inorder to report his income and pay taxes,but he hasnt done anything...Can I just have him fill out the affadavit and write a notice stating that he wasnt making enough to file for income tax ? My joint sponsor makes well above the povertiy line.Shouldnt that be enough ? Is my husbands employment and salary info important ?

Not a K-3 spousal process question. Moving to AOS forums.

If a sponsor is legally required to file a tax return (according to IRS rules) then USCIS will require that the tax return was properly filed or they won't accept his affidavit of support, even if a joint sponsor is being used. However, his 2011 tax return won't be required with the affidavit of support until after the tax filing deadline, which is April 17, 2012. If he's submitting the affidavit of support before the tax filing deadline then he won't need his 2011 tax return. His 2010 transcript should be enough. If you're using a joint sponsor then his current employment and income won't be relevant.
