Question on incomes on AOS

[jontytyt 6]

I'm filling out the AOS. I have a tricky question...

There's a place where it asks me for my "total income" for each of the last three years, based on my tax returns. The definition of total income is the "adjusted gross income on IRS form 1040EZ". So I have to just look up whatever adjusted gross income I reported those three years and put those amounts in.

There's also a place where it asks me for my "current income". What exactly is the definition of this income? Just regular income per year? Or income after all the adjustments, like above? Because for me, I work abroad. I make some money per year. On a 1040EZ form, I put this amount as "wages, salaries, tips". Then I have a foreign earned income exclusion (I don't have to pay tax on the whole amount). So I subtract off the exclusion from my earnings, and the new, lower amount, is my "adjusted gross income", and this is the amount that I pay tax on.

So is "current income" the same or different from "total income"?

yes Current income is just regular income for the year.( if you just started a job recently you will put what you are going to make in base paid for the whole year)
