From the above, I assume your husband is the petitioner.

The I-864A is a document that you, as part of your husband's household, can sign so that your income is included for the purpose of making up the qualifying minimum necessary to support your kids here.

In a simpler manner, the I-864A is used when a co-sponsor is also a member of the household. You will only need the I-864A if your husband's income does not meet the minimum required by the USCIS. It is a way for the two of you to pool your incomes together, for the purpose of sponsoring your kids immigration process.

If you are the main petitioner, then you fill out the I-864 and your husband would fill out the I-864A, if your income should not be sufficient.

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Progress Reports to Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America forum; OP's children are being petitioned by OP's USC spouse.

If you filed a joint tax return, enter the amount of the return as shown in the transcripts. When all documents are put together it will be evident that the tax return combines both income amounts further supporting that you are indeed a household.
