Hello,
I'm filing the I-864EZ and I have a question about the Federal income tax section. In the part 5a there is a statement that I only need to attach a photocopy of transcript of the Federal income tax return ONLY for the most recent year. Then in 5b which is OPTIONAL it says that I can attach the Fed income tax returns for the 2n and 3rd most recent years.
And then in 6a, b, c they are asking about the info about the last 3 years Total income.
My first question is: if it's OPTIONAL to attach the copies of the Fed income tax returns for the 2nd and 3rd most recent years, as stated in 5 b, I still need to indicate that information in the 6b and c (the total income for the 2nd and 3rd most recent years), but I don't need to provide any documentation that supports it, cos it's optional. Correct?
And the second question is: We filed our taxes jointly for the 2nd most recent tax year, so in the 6b I only need to MY total income from my W2, or both since we filed jointly (I was thinking about not attaching the W2 or copy/transcript for that year because it's optional).
Thank you
