I-864 Reporting All 3 Years? Part 6 Question 24.a, b and c

[K1visaHopeful 2,817]

I'm sure this has been asked ten million times but that just means somebody has to have an answer that I can't seem to find.

We are NOT planning to submit all three previous year's IRS Transcripts, only the most recent. 

So that means we will definately fill out Part 6 Question 23.a as "Yes" that we have filed the previous three years. We will ignore 23.b.as we are NOT submitting the two other previous years. 

BUT for 24.a, 24.b and 24.c, do we still have to answer all of them if we are not submitting all three years or can we just answer 24.a with last years income reported and put "none" for 24.b and 24.c for the two previous years beyond last year?

All 3 years' income from the tax returns must be provided. This is separate from providing a transcript or copy of the returns for the 2 prior years.

That's what I figured. Do you think it will hurt us if his income was really low those previous two years? He was a full time student but his most current year (2017) he is over the poverty lines for our household and his current income proves he earns even higher....

Should he write a statement for why his income was so low or will his previous year and current earnings be enough?

It probably won't be a significant factor as a student those years. Current income is king.

Thanks @geowrian! I appreciate the advice!

I just realized that I did not fill the boxes 24.b and 24.c. I only sent the last tax returns and I assumed that those 2 boxes weren't necessary.

Does anyone know if this means I will certainly get a RFE in the future for that?

 

Thank you

Certainly? No. Possibly? Yes (more likely an RFIE).

Hi All,

In regards to 24a b and c, do I have to provide income for me alone or joint with my husband since we filed tax returns together ? ?

I am not sponsoring my husband and he is not one of the sponsors.

I have the same question, but with different form, which line I need to put in 24 a, b, c in form 1040? Thanks
