Affidavit of Support help (split)

[SETETA 204]

Sorry, I am filling out the affidavit now and wanted to know should I put my adjusted gross income income for 2017, 2018, 2019 or my earnings. I had a foreign earnings exemption up until the last quarter of 2019. So, 2017 2018 adjusted is 0 because of the exemption and the 2019 is only 20K. Although my total annual salary is 80K and I have 7 months of pay stubs reflecting that. I have also some property assets which I could include around 350K. What to do?

In the tax section of the form, enter the "Total income" number from the tax returns.  Your "current income" is your actual current salary.  It does NOT come from any tax return.  Take your gross pay for a full pay period, times the number of pay periods in a whole year.  That is your "current income".

Thanks, so the total income is 0 for those two years abroad and 20K for the past year due to exemption of most of the salary. Should I attach a cover letter explaining this?

You could, but they can see it from the tax return copies or the tax return transcripts.

Thanks, I entered my salary which is 25K above the required showing an employment letter and pay stubs...I also attached my previous w  2 and tax transcripts w the low total income due to the foreign exclusion. In case, I submitted appraisals for assets with ownership details for 300k. I hope that is sufficient but it is hard to not worry.
