No! As the instructions state, you can't ADD paystubs without an EVL. Paystubs are SECONDARY proof not primary.
Your amount in Part6Q7 comes from the amount your employer made up and input ON your EVL as your estimated annual salary/earnings. Six months paystubs only proves you are HEADED IN THE DIRECTION of the amount your employer stated on the EVL. Just like the W2, paystubs are NOT standalone.
Do not submit paystubs without a properly filled out EVL that states your annual salary/earnings.
IF you submit an EVL, THEN you can help them to do the math If you want FROM your paystubs in the Additional Information section. Ie. I've earned $X in Xnumber of pay periods so far in the year so I'm estimated to earn $X in 52 payperiods in the year. Or you can say nothing at all and just use the amount from your EVL and back it up with 6m current paystubs.
Do you have an EVL? No? Then you can't submit paystubs.
? If you are choosing 1C. because you now have a 2024 Tax RETURN TRANSCRIPT? (Which in the above comments as far as I've read, you didn't have yet?)
Do you have a 2024 Tax RETURN Transcript now?
Then yes, you can use the amount from the Transcript?
Do you NOT have a 2024 return transcript yet? Then you can only use a 2024 complete federal tax return copy including all pages and schedules AND your earnings statements.
Please reread what I took the time to write.
And please review the i864 instructions too.
