I-864EZ help

[Lionel&Phuong 0]

I'm sponsoring only my mom. My income last year was $30000, which meets the minimum requirement (at least that's how i understand it) so I can't do joint sponsor with husband. Now the I-864EZ wants me to enter my "Adjusted Gross Income". The only "Adjusted Gross Income" number that I could find from my tax return is the combined number of me and my husband (We filed tax jointly). Is this the number they want or am I supposed to somehow calculate just MY Adjusted Gross Income??? I've been looking it up and people keep saying to get the number from form 1040EZ. I had H&R do my tax and I don't see any form 1040EZ. The only "Adjusted Gross Income" number is from the summary page. I'm so confused. PLease help!!

For the question that asks for "total income" form the tax return, you put exactly the number from the "total income" line (if you did 1040EZ, the "adjusted gross income" is the same as the "total income") on your tax return. Yes, even if you filed jointly.

I'm sorry I'm probably just being dumb here .

So my own income is $30000. Our joint Income is $104125 and Gross Adjusted Income is $104000. Do I write $104000 or $30000 in I-864EZ??

Thank you

You are asking about Part 6 item 19a-c, right? Look on your tax return (not w-2 or whatever; tax return) for 2015. If it was 1040 or 1040A, look at the line that says "total income". If it was 1040EZ, look at the line that says "adjusted gross income". Put that exact number.
