I-864 Joint Sponsor

[thebaileyohana 1]

I've been perusing the forums to find an answer to my question, but have decided to post!

I am the sponsor and my mom will be the joint sponsor. Her income alone meets the requirements needed. When submitting her tax return papers and W-2's, she's filed Married Jointly along with my Dad, who passed away 4 months ago.

1. I don't need to submit my deceased father's W-2's do I?

(And even if he hadn't passed away, her income is sufficient so we wouldn't need to include the additional paperwork right?)

2. For clarification, on the I-864 Pg 6. Part 6. Section 13.a,b,c that asks for:

"total income (adjusted gross income on IRS Form

1040EZ) as reported on my Federal tax returns for the

most recent 3 years was..."

I should be writing whatever it says for total income for each year for the joint sponsor (my mom), regardless of if that includes my dad's income as well, because it asks for the total, correct?

Hopefully these questions aren't too confusing. Any help is much appreciated!!

Yes, the Total Income amount from the return(even if joint), which is line 22 of the 1040 form. She can add in a note that her husband is deceased.
