Affidavit of support, petitioner on Odd jobs

[roughE 0]

Hello All,

I just paid the AOS fee, I now have to send the AOS package, I have her uncle co-sponsoring, but I am not sure, as to what is to be shown if my wife is working for dunkin donuts and previously things Remembered? She didn't file any tax returns and just have the pay stubs and employment letter. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

As she has a co-sponsor, it is not that important that she show current and on-going income. However, unless she made no money, she must file tax returns.

Thank you, I am sorry to have been asking again, does this mean that she still should file tax returns?

Yes, she should back-file taxes at least for the last three years.

She should file tax returns for any years in which she had income above the tax filing threshold for her family size. She can check with a tax professional to determine whether she was required to file. Income level determines the requirement to file. Not everybody is required to file a tax return.

Probably not applicable in this case but the source of income also has a bearing on the tax filing requirment. For example, Military disability recipients don't ned to file tax returns if that's their only source of income, regardless of how much it is. Be careful about blanket statements.

For 2012, if you had earned more than 9,750, you should have filed tax return ( assumptions: you are filing single, therefore, the standard deduction and exemption amounts sum to 9750)
