Total income

per instructions of I-864

 

For purposes of this affidavit, the line for Total Income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A will be considered when

determining income. For persons filing IRS Form 1040 EZ, the line for adjusted gross income will be considered

just to add one thing, the joint sponsor is employed but his wife is self employed.

I have heard that i should use the adjusted gross income since his wife that files jointly with him is self employed

correct?

the only thing I see in the instructions of form I-184 for self employed

 

If you selected Part 6., Item Number 1.b. that you are self-employed, you should have completed one of the following

forms with your Federal income tax return: Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business), Schedule D (Capital Gains),

Schedule E (Supplemental Income or Loss), or Schedule F (Profit or Loss from Farming). You must include each and

every Form 1040 Schedule, if any, that you filed with your Federal income tax return.
