Tax returns for affidavit

[cbunny 1]

Hi, we were completing the Affidavit part of my forms. My husband is the USC and I'm from Mexico and came here on a TN-1 visa. We got married over a year ago.

He is self-employed and his Annual income is likely to be $45,000 this year

(he has already made 26,000 so far in 2013, which is above the requirements for a two person household.)

in question 25 of form I-864 they ask his income for the last 3 years and it looks like this:

Tax Year Total Income

2012 18,472 (he actually made $19,972 however he had to declare a loss of -1500 from 2011 in his 2012 taxes,

the loss was from selling his stocks at a loss)

2011 -1,444 (my husband didn't work during 2011, he had savings and stocks which he sold, however,

the -1,444 appears because he sold his stocks at a loss)

2010 16,214

So the question is, should we only send photocopies from 2012 explaining the -1,500 loss (carried form 2011), or should we include photocopies from 2011 with the explanation of the selling of the stocks at a loss and that's the reason for the -1,444 income, and in the form it says that if I send copies from the 2nd year I have to send also for the 3rd... so do i have to send both? Could I just send the 2nd?

Also, should we send proof that he has made $26,000 so far this year? if so, what kind of proof?

Thanks for reading!

no advice, anyone?

He can send his tax return for 2012. I don't see why he needs to explain the 1500.

He should include a letter from employer (if possible) verifying his current income, or pay stubs from the last few months. This will support his claimed current income.

Hi, he doesn't have an employer, he owns and runs his own business. However the only thing we can prove is that he has made about 15,00 this year already. But how do we prove it? bank accounts?
