What is the income

[Zoe12 5]

If sponsor retires later in the year what would be the income on I-864?

Lawyer said to put last years tax income and update at the interview. Is that correct?

If the sponsor has no income at present, his current income would be “zero” regardless of what he/she was earning previously.

She does have a lot of income currently. She retires later this year and will still have income above the poverty line but I'm not sure what to put right now. Lawyer said to put last year's tax income and let them know the new income at the time of the interview.

My suggestion would be to estimate  the 2019 income at time of signing the 864. .. if she is retiring on Sept 30 then it would be 9 times her monthly income. Then if her  income has changed by the time the interview occurs she should complete  an updated I864

Oh okay, she already signed it with what the lawyer suggested. Because she will continue to make money after retiring and at the same time receive retirement income. We have no idea what that income would be

It sounds a reasonable option as she hasn’t retired yet .. update at interview if needed
