My income in 2017 was $31504, 2018 $ 27712 and 2019 $ 32544 so my question is Do I need a co- sponsor?

CURRENT annual income is king.  Tax returns only reflect past calendar years' income.

 

Current weekly income x 52= Current annual income

Current monthly income x 12= Current annual income

Current pay period income x number of pay periods per year= Current annual income.

 

If you have documented  pay raises coming in the next 12 months, you can also include that.

Based on the assumption the current income is less than required for the household size, a "joint sponsor" will be needed.  I would have a joint sponsor even if the current income is above but only slightly above the minimum.  It's a judgment call, not a goal line you cross by meeting the minimum requirement.
