i-864 Question

[Dirty harry 25]

So my wife is filing for her parents, she meets the income requirement by herself., We file joint tax returns, However my income is pretty convoluted, can we just use her income on the i-864 or will that be an issue?

Thanks

Yes you can use her income alone regardless of if you file jointly.

From the I864 instructions:

"If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every

Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns. Do not include copies of these forms if you provide an IRS

transcript of your Federal individual income tax returns rather than a photocopy unless you filed a joint income tax return

with your spouse and are qualifying using only your income"

Thank you so much Francais, I must have missed that part. I really appreciate the fast response.
