Hello. My wife immigrated from China in 2009 and is now a US citizen. We are now applying for a green card for her mother. We are now at the point where we need to send in the form i-864.

My wife, who only works part time, is the petitioner. She will submit form i-864 and I will submit form i-864a as a member of her household. My question is how do we fill out our incomes? We file our taxes jointly so our adjusted gross income is listed as one number. Should I break it down so that each of our incomes is reflected on our own sheets? Or should our two sheets show the same numbers, like it is on our returns.

To be more specific:

On our tax return our AGI is X. This figure is a combination of my wife's income, y, and my income, z. So on my wife's form i-864, should she list figure X or figure y? Likewise, should my form i-864 list figure X or figure z?
