My taxe year said i’m above the poverty guidelines but i’ve heard some people here said that, even that they send them rfe. 
 

that makes me confused…

You don't need a joint sponsor. That's it.

People get RFEs for many reasons. They could have filled the form wrong, like you said you did, or they did not provide documentation to prove their income. You cannot just state you make so much annually without showing them. Most recent taxes and W-2 will do that, but sometimes you may need to send other documentation to show proof of your current annual income(more past years of tax transcripts, pay stubs, letter from employer, etc.). If you are absolutely sure you meet the income requirement for your household size, then you don't need a joint sponsor, but you need to show them that you in fact do meet the requirement.

 

If you are not absolutely sure you meet the requirement for your household size, then yes, you can use a joint sponsor. There is no penalty for using a joint sponsor when you alone meet the requirement. However, your joint sponsor will need to fill out their own I-864, meet the requirement for their household size plus your spouse, and provide the documentation that proves they in fact meet the income requirement.  This is completely unnecessary if you meet the requirement, as the joint sponsor will be 'on the hook' for a long time by signing on that dotted line.
