I have W2 and 1099 as sponsor. Please help with Self employment question. (Form I-864) [Multiple merged threads]

 Share

17 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am the sponsor for my spouse.

We have only 1 beneficiary and 1 sponsor on form I-864.
I am the US citizen and I have a W2 full time salaried job that pays me 87K a year. 
I have my W2 and tax transcripts.
 
I also have a freelance job that paid me 2k last year, i got a 1099.
 
I am not sure if i should submit that 1099 and mark "self-employed" box AS WELL AS employed box.
my employment income(w2) is well enough for sponsorship.
 
Is it okay if I just check "employed" and not check "self-employed" and only display my W2 income?
Is it okay if I just share my W2 full time employment, and not mention the small 1099 I had?
 
Note: I always paid taxes for 1099, they are in the tax transcripts.
please help me with this, and thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Hello, i can't find support for my problem, i might have posted it under wrong place.

I am full time salaried (w2) sponsor for my spouse. 

no joint sponsors or kids.

 

my w2 is enough to be sponsor.

i am also self employed (just freelance stuff) and i had 1099 for 2k last year. i paid taxes etc.

 

is it okay if i check ONLY "employed" box on form i-864 and not mention self employment?

since my W2 (and tax transcripts) are enough to cover sponsorship, is it mandatory to include small 1099 i received?

 

Note: i paid taxes on 1099, and it is in my tax transcript. but majority of my income (over 80k) is from W2 and i will include that.

i put a screenshot of part i am referring to.

 

any help is appreciated.

Transcripts OR copies of your return with the W2's/1099's by themselves are sufficient, but only do one or the other, not both.  Transcripts are easier, so that would be my choice.

With the tax transcripts ,  proof of US residency is needed like state ID or DL

Why?  because its possible to do tax returns while living abroad and put a US address on the return

 

 

I did my US taxes for 2009 from Morocco in march 2010 when i was there to marry

 

Joint sponsor and u both have to show living in the US

I would think that if it shows up in your transcripts, that the best policy is to check both boxes so that the form matches what's on the transcripts or they may question it. I don't know for sure, that's just my gut instinct. I'm about to do this myself and this I-864 is such a counterintuitive form... I wish they made it more common sense

i have W2 and 1099 at the same time.

 

my w2 is well above the income limit (about 80k)

my 1099 is only 2k.

 

my question: is it okay if i only check "employed" box, and not check "self-employed" box.

and not submit 1099?

 

in other words, is it okay if i only report w2 job becuase it is well over limit and it is sufficient number.

note: i paid taxes on 1099 (2k) and it is in my tax transcripts.

 

does anybody have a suggestion for me?

thank you for reply. i am just worried, that my small (2k) 1099 will complicate things.

my w2 is well enough for being sponsor.

i paid taxes on 1099 and it is reflected in my tax transcript.

 

do you think it is okay to NOT show 1099 self employment and just report w2 income on form i864?

The problem, as I see it, would be that your total income from the transcript will not match what you have in the form. That's what they look at is the total income on the tax transcript. I think as long as you report both the W-2 and the 1099, it will not complicate anything as the 1099 is just additional  to the W-2 income. When it comes to USCIS, my default position is to not hide anything from them. Especially since you have to provide the tax transcripts and they will see it reported in there.

you mark employed (and list emloyer)   the 1099 is on  tax returns (or should be)  so  you send copy with that along with w2/  reason IReason is u need to account for all income to IRS so they know none is gotten illegally and since its on IRS transcripts ,  it must be shown to immigration also .   even though nt major income

As someone already said, you can only disclose your W2 earnings. You don't need to include the freelancing, since it is not required to bring your salary above poverty guidelines. It's fine that it's on your tax transcript. 

 

However, if this is stressing you out, I'd say just go ahead and add the freelance earnings, too.

thank you for reply.

yes, it is stressing me but it is because i am anxious and don't want to cause RFE

Can you please reassume me?

 

1 - if i only include full time w2 job, and not list "freelancing", it doesn't mean i had that income illegally right?(i just don't want them to assume it is the case if they see it on my tax returns)

2- I saw someone else posted and said it is mandatory to include all incomes? (because i also had 1099 from a bank for interest)

 

i just think my w2 should be enough because it is well above the limit, so not reporting my freelance income (i am us citizen and i paid taxes on it) shouldn't cause an RFE?

 

THANKS
