Confused about I-864, line 13a, b and c questions.

[ramonaks 0]

Hi,

I just received notice that i had supplied the wrong amount indicated on lines 13 a, b and c of my submitted I-864 form ( I made a mistake of putting in my adjusted gross income).

It was indicated on the form that I should supply my total income for the recent 3 years. My question is, does total income mean, my gross income or net income? Which line from my 1040 should I be indicating for those sections, is it line 22?

On another note, has anyone here experienced having problems paying for their IV application on their website? Whenever I select the invoice to be paid, and click "pay selected" it would just turn grey and then nothing... I have done this already for 4 - 5 times now, on different times and checked if it says "in process" but so far, nothing.

Any help with the above matters would be really appreciated. Thank you and more power to everyone.

Best regards,

Ramonaks

For part 6. Line number 13.a.1 I put line number 37 from tax 1040 tax form (subtract line 36 from line 22. This is your adjusted gross income)

Yes, Total Income, line 22 of the 1040.

Yes, Total Income, line 22 of the 1040.

The question is : My Total Income (adjusted gross income on IRS Form 1040EZ) as reported on my Federal tax returns for the most recent 3 years.

My understanding is it is the line number 37 from tax form 1040 which says subtract line 36 from line 22. This is your adjusted gross income.

I provided that info for each year (e.g. 13.a - 2012, 13.b - 2011, 13.c - 2010 ) when I did the I-864. My case was completed without any checklist.

By the way for 13.a. you need to put the year (e.g. 2012), for 13.a.1. you need to put the amount.

Thank you for your answers ekim andJay-Kay, I initially wrote down my adjusted gross, and they came back to me to let me know that was not it since I am just filing a 1040 and not 1040EZ (sorry if I wasn't too clear about this.) So I guess it would be line 22 then.

Thank you for your help!

On 1040 federal tax return in line 22 total income Should be on that 13a Not the gross income on line 37 unless You filed 1040ez.

I know the question.

Yes, IF you used the 1040EZ form, then you use adjusted gross. For everyone else that used a 1040, not the EZ type, then you put TOTAL INCOME, which is line 22 of the 1040 form.

You are welcome. You did not use the EZ form, so you need line 22, total income. That is correct.

looks like I got lucky since I used line number 37 (adjusted gross income) from 1040 and did not get a checklist.
