I-134 Section 7 Question

[miSSingMyBabyMuch 1]

Hi guys,

Quick question on the I-134 Affidavit of Support Question 7. The first line says "I derive an annual income of: (If self employed, I have attached a copy of my latest tax return or report commercial rating concern which I certify to be true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief."

My question is, on this line item, are we suppose to put the amount stated on his 1040 or his current annual income. I ask this because my fiancé only started working at the latter part of year 2011 and only paid taxes for the months he worked for. The income stated on the 1040 is far less than what he really gets in a year. I am just confused as to what number to put in here. I have read it should be what is on the tax return. I have also read what is the actual annual income backed by an employment letter of course.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

If he is an employee and not self-employed, then he needs to state his current annual income. Multiply how much he makes an hour by how many hours he works a week, then multiply that by 52. That will be his current annual income. Back up his current income with a letter from employer and most recent pay stub(s).
