Hi pushbrk, I did the calculation and the number came out to be under $14,600. But i'm still not sure if i was required to file because of the $400 threshold for self-employment. I made more than $400 but less than the Federal requirements. Could you please clarify this? Thank you so much.

Hi pushbrk, Thank you for the detailed explaination. I have a couple questions if you don't mind. 1. I live in Massachusetts and the minimum requiring income to file tax is $8000 which i did not meet. But i've read that if you make more than $400 as a self employed person (i did make more than $400 in 2024), you must file tax return. Does that mean i was required to file and i have to enter the total income? 2. My parents filed jointly, do i still have the one with the most individual income do the I-864? Thank you.

Hi folks, I was not able to work the last three years due to many health problems. Last year, i only made a few thousands dollars driving Uber/Lyft but i filed taxes. I'm filling the I-864 with my parents as joint sponsors because they make more than enough to sponsor my spouse. My mom will also file I-864 and my dad will file I-854A. I'm getting better and planning on driving more with Uber/Lyft while actively looking for a more stable job. On the U.S immigrantion website, it states that if you do not meet the minimum requirements to overcome the poverty guidelines, you have to submit proof of income and proof of assets which i do not have at the moment. Since i already have joint sponsors, should i just put zero as income on from I-864 and include a letter explaning my situation so that they don't ask for proof of income or assets? Thank you.
