(I-864EZ)Current individual annual income......

[chizza 0]

Hi everyone!

I just wanna ask how a current individual annual income (line 18 of the I-864EZ form) is calculated if the sponsor is currently in the military?

Should my hubby use or calculate just his monthly basic pay by multiplying it by 12? Or should he include his other/extra pays in the calculation like for example housing allowance, sea pay etc.?

pls help!

ur responses will be greatly appreciated...thnx

For military member's the required income level is 100% of the poverty level.

Can free housing be counted as income?

Yes. Sponsors who receive housing and other benefits in place of salary may count those benefits as income. The sponsor may count income that is not subject to taxation (such as housing allowance), as well as taxable income. The sponsor would have to prove the nature and amount of any income that is not included as wages or salary or other taxable income. Evidence of such income can be shown through notations on the W-2 Form (such as Box 13 for military allowances), Form 1099 or other documents that show the claimed income.

The BAH is issued every month for 12 but sea and seperation pay aren't and therefore might not be counted. I'd still check to be sure.

This is crazy!

Mu hubby believes that in line 18 of the I-864EZ, it is asked to put the current annual income which is his income for last year...and not his expected income for this year (2007)...i'm really confused...

current annual income is exactly what it says .....current......take the monthly amount multiply it by 12 and there you'll have your answer. If his base pay isnt enough then add the housing allowance.
