hi

as a contractor, you still have to pay taxes, so how have your taxes been?

So you are not an actual employee of your sister, and will not receive a W-2? If that is the case, then you are considered self-employed, and a tax return showing your Total Income would be needed as the main proof of your income for the I-864. You will most likely need to use a joint sponsor.
