AOS advice needed (split)

[SETETA 204]

Does anyone have an update on this case? I am filling out the affidavit and am not sure what to put in the earnings for 2017-2018-2019. I lived abroad for over a decade and filed taxes but received an exemption. So, while the earned is between 100-120K depending on the year, the adjusted gross is 0. For 2019, I moved back to US and have earnings from August until now. So, it shows 20K for my adjusted for 2019 and so does my W-2. My pay stubs reflect 7 months of earnings at my current salary rate: 80K. I am worried about being rejected if I put '0' for 2016 and 2017 and only $20K for 2019. How should I proceed?

You list what is on the actual returns.  Your computed 2020 income should be in excess of the $20k so you should be fine come interview time.

There is no question about 2020 income.  The question is "current income".  The OP is "employed", so a gross pay for a full pay period times the number of pay periods in a full year, is their "current income".  Current income does not mean "current year".  If your salary is 80k  year, that's your current income even if you didn't start the job until May or June etc.

 

To be clear, "computed income for 2020" is NOT a consideration in any way, as it may not reflect "current income".  I've posted the following statement certainly more that a hundred times over the years, (Maybe different numbers.)

 

If you start a job today at 50k a year salary, 50k is your current income. If you lost your job yesterday, your current income is ZERO, no matter how much you made in the past or so far this year.
