Hi Kseniya! I really appreciate your time and effort you put into your videos. I will be totally get lost with all these forms that needed to be filled out. These applications already involve a lot of money and hiring a lawyer to sort all these could even double up our expenses especially my wife and I will be petitioning both her parents. May God bless you in return for all these information you share freely to others!
Dear Kseniya, thank you again for your hard work and dedication to make the immigration process easier. I was listening recently that the income should be much more than the poverty level. If the income is around 42.000 (California) should even someone try to sponsor one person? Thank you a lot!
Thank you 🙏 for this information. I was so worried because my total income is $ 38,059 , but my AGI is $28,215, but I filled a 1040 form. Just to be sure , I will put $38,059 as my income on line 24a, correct ?? You are great 😊.
Like you said my husband doesn't need to sign I-864A if I don't need his income. Since I am the primary sponsor for my parents and my income is sufficient to meet the financial requirements. My Tax 2021: I filed single ( income 80k) Tax 2022: I filed as joint marriage with my husband. Total 150k ( my income 80k and his income 70k) However, there are some questions in part 6 of I-864 I dont know how to answer. Number 8,9,10 .....20 and 24a (most recent tax year of 2022) . Can you help me those ?
My wife and I are confused in what (tax return) means? Exactly which part of the tax return are they looking for? I have all my tax returns from past 3 years and nothing un there says form 1040.
Hi, thank you so much for this video. It does helps a lot!! One question, my husband is in the military so only part of his salary is taxable, 1040 doesn’t reflect his real salary, how do I fill out the total income?
Thank you you are amazing, I have question please; if the sponsor is not including any household members income for the purpose of I-864 but files a joint tax return with her spouse, what then should one fill as total current annual household income in Part 6. 20? Thank you for your help.
i have this same question. i have a joint sponsor. i personally dont work and have 0 annual individual income, but i file taxes jointly with my spouse, my spouse has some income but i do not use his income since it is not enough anyways and joint sponsor's income is sufficient, so what do i write as my annual household income?
@@elsamendezserna9607 you have to put the total household income on your 1040. My case was more confusing, i asked this question because my income is zero and i have a joint sponsor filling out a separate i864 and not using husbands income
I am the i130 petitioner. I am 82 yrs old, i am a dependent on my daughter income tax. Do i report my daughter total income on line 24a, and put a check mark in number 25. Thank you for helping.
Hi Kseniya. My 2023 tax return is a little less than what the minimum income requirement, and I got new job and my current salary is higher However when I fill the I 864, instead of putting down the project salary of this current year, I put the one from last year. So now I got a letter saying I don’t meet the minimum income requirement, to avoid delays a joint sponsor may be submitted. What do you think I should do in this case? Find a joint sponsor or just sending them the employment evidence, plus submit cash assets for the income difference? Thank you!
Hello! Loved your video. If I am receiving unemployment but also do some casual freelance work and have two 1099 for this year, should I check the unemployed box 6.6 and also 6.4 for self-employed? I will be using a joint sponsor to meet income requirements. I only made $1600 in self-employment and about $18731 in unemployment this year.
Great information, as always! Thank you! Do you know what happens if the petitioner has never worked in the USA? Is a personal declaration about that enough or it will be necessary to have a document issued by the IRs? Thanks again.
Thank you so much for the video.I have a question is really confusing me.1)I am house wife 2)I am filling I-864 to sponsor my mother 3))Married filling jointly tax returns last 5 years only my husband working.What do i need to write current income section?. Do i need to write half of it to gross income me and my husband? or Do i need to put $0 then fill out the form I-864A?.Thank you
Hi. Just want to ask in part 6. current individual annual income. Should i put the adjusted gross income the one in the tax transcript or the one that appears in 1099? Got rfe last week. Its really confusing.
yes it clear up a lot of questions but sorry i still have questions. what would you consider income from a member of an LLC is? does that count toward as employment income or just list those income under tax filing income?
Thank you for the informative Video, I have a question please. my wife (Sponser) currently doesnt have a Tax Return because she worked only for 6 months from Feb to Sep, but she is above proverty guidelines, should I have a joint sponser who has all documents? I appreciate it
Hello Kseniya, my wife is a petitioner and my mother-in-law is my intending immigrant. My wife is a home-make (not working) and we file our tax married- jointly. I will be the household member filing for I-864 A to support her (thank you for your i-864A video helped me in clarifying). Question is, in I-864, her current individual annual income will be 0 and what we need to fill for her IRS total income - will it be 0 or joined tax income? Can you please provide some insight?
Hi Kseniya. My question is for the last three years of tax return my husband did not meet the poverty guideline 2019-2021, but this year 2022 he make it. Is there any chance they will check the last three years of tax? or we should need a joint sponsor to cover it? your answer is very helpful for our application. Thank you.
Thank you for some valuable information about all your videos. A question: does my sponsor require federal or state W2s with the tax returns. I was told that a summary of the W2s used to create the tax return was not enough. Do I also have to provide 12 months of pay stubbs (or is that an option). Thank you again.
Hi Kseniya. Thank you for all your videos and support. I have a question. My granddaughter who turned 21 is going to apply for her mother (my daughter) who is here in the US, but my granddaughter is a full-time student and has no income. I have my granddaughter as a dependent on my IncomeTaxes. Her aunt (my second daughter) is going to serve as her Joint Sponsor. How does my granddaughter complete the i864 to indicate that she has no income and that she is my dependent? Should she attach my tax reports? How is part 5, 6 and 7 of the i864 completed then? I appreciate your valuable comments.
As active-duty military members, we have few tax exemptions like housing allowance and meals. my question is do I consider housing and meal allowance as income when calculating current income or should I use the previous year's w2? even just the federal income would be sufficient for sponsoring them. just trying not to get RFE. your input is appreciated. thanks.
Your videos are great, and I get a lot of useful information from them. I have a question about using a household members real estate as an asset for the i-186 and i-186A. In using assets to help supplement the income, how would I go about using real estate for my assets? and what proof would I need?
Thanks for the video. My spouse which is a US citizen didn’t file taxes last year because she was unemployed. She has a job this year with annual income that would qualify to sponsor me. Would it be a problem if we filed affidavits of support before tax deadline without tax returns? Will pay stubs be sufficient? Thanks.
Hi Kseniya, thanks for the awesome pointers you've giving via this channel. 😆👏I would like to ask reg. filling the information for the most recent total income in the past consecutive years. Scenario:My husband was unemployed in 2021. I plan to submit the form this year 2022. Is it okay if we tick the box" I was not required to file a federal income tax return as my income was below..."and attach some proof stating that it's only for the year of 2021 only? Or if by ticking the box, we are indicating that it applies to all three years?
Hiiii thank you for your videos!! I have a quick question- Can I use my spouse’ s income as a household income if we have filed Federal tax return together but because of his work he lives in a separate state?
THANKS for all your informative and good videos. i really thank you. I have a question. my husband was retired last 3 years ago so we don't have w2 or 1099. we only have 1040. so please let me know if it is acceptable or not? and my husband has started working again since march this year. what kind of documents do I need to submit to prove he is working again? thanks again
Hi Kseniya, for the income for the past previous years (from tax transcript) it's adjusted gross income, but for calculating this year's income (from paystubs) is gross? Thanks!
Hello, thanks for always sharing these informative content. I do have a question though, if my spouse who is the sponsor is currently unemployed but receives unemployment, would that compensation be classified as apart of his current individual annual income? Likewise we filed our taxes jointly for the 2020 tax period, is it possible to use his individual wages from the W2 for his total income that tax year since our individual AGI is not shown on the tax transcript?
Unemployment does count as income, and you still have to include total income as listed on transcripts. Both of you W2s will serve as a “divider” to see whose income is being used
Hi Kseniya. Could you please advise if I should write $0 for my income on my tax returns for last year and two other years, if I did not work? I started a job in January this year but I did not have any income last year. I filed taxes jointly with my husband. He is my household sponsor. I cannot put his adjusted gross income on I864 since I did not earn that money. Is it correct? Please advise.
Hi there. Thank you for the very informative video. I do have one question though if you could help me. My sponsor (my husband) will be providing an IRS/transcript for the past 3 years. Does he need to submit a W2/1099? Or a transcript is enough? Thank you! 🙏
Hello! This is what instructions say “If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns. Do not include copies of these forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your Federal individual income tax returns rather than a photocopy unless you filed a joint income tax return with your spouse and are qualifying using only your income.”
Hi kseniya could you do a video on domicile requirement when sponsoring for a green card ? What happens if the sponsor has not lived in usa for a long time but wants to sponsor an immediate relative and return back to usa together ?
Your videos are very help full, I’m able to complete my Aos package by watching your videos…. My question is for the two prior years I earned above the poverty guide line, for this current year taxes I am a little under the guide line because I took some time off to help care for our new born… my yearly wages is above the guide line except for that one year. Will that be of any issue?
Hello Kseniya, I'm a new subscriber and thrilled with your great sense of support ! I have a question: My unemployment was cut by the end of Jan. And I have no source of income at the moment... What should I put as INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL INCOME? should I only put the only amount that I received in Jan from EDD which is around 1800?! Thank you 💐

Hello Kseniya @Kseniya International Thanks for the video. I have one question that I couldn't find through the video. I recently got married to a US citizen. She is an RN and has been working in the hospital since mid-2022. I am on an F1 visa. I am currently pursuing my 2nd master's here in the US, and I currently don't work. (No CPT). But I worked until last year in October on STEM -OPT before my second master's began, so I had income and filled taxes to show for the last 3 years, which is above the federal poverty threshold. So my qtns is in the form I-864: 24. c. 3rd Most Recent? My wife started working professionally around mid-2022 and has a 1040 total income higher than the federal poverty threshold for 2022. and 2023. but 2021's total income (~10k) was way below the fed poverty threshold. So, what could you recommend? Should we enter that total income (10k) into 24.c. in the 3rd most recent total income box a no?
Good morning, my income for last 2 years is not enough for a household size per I 864p guidelines because I was in school, but since January 2021 I started a new job which meets the guidelines. Please what can I do. ? Use the tax return for the pass years and get a joint sponsor Or is there any other way out like using my pay stubs and employment letter? Thanks
Hi, you may be Okay. Just make sure you provide a good amount of evidence for your current income, such as a letter from your employer and pay stubs from the past two months. I would also suggest including the terms of your employment, maybe there is a way to include that this is a long-term position etc.
hey @ Diane Nampe i am in a similar situation and would love to know if u needed a joing sponser or providing your current employment information was sufficient
Hi Kseniya, Thank you so much for sharing this videos. like you said the unemployment should count as income, we should count into the current annual income. Do i need to attach the unemployment income statement into the affidavit evidence if i put this income with my self-employed income ? Your immediate reply is appreciate.
Hello, Kseniya! Your videos are very helpful and informative. Please tell me my husband is a sponsor for me and my daughter and we have a uniform W-2 and 1099 for 2021 and his income allows us to sponsor, but we do not have Federal Income Tax Return for 2021he works for the employer, is it possible to submit only these forms without Federal Income Tax Return for 2021. Thank you so much for your help!
Does it fine to mention only last year income? If the income is higher but we’ll not mention the last three years because the income for the other two years wasn’t enough but only for the last year was good enough,thanks a lot
What amount or block from the tax transcript do i put on the annual income ? the gross pay ? I hear most people had to redo theirs because info is conflicted and the guide does t specify exactly what info from the transcript goes on there
Hello Kseniya, I hope all is well with you. Question regarding taxes. I receive my income through inheritance monies from my parents estate. Since inheritance is not taxed, I do not have to file tax returns. I am planning on submitting an affidavit from the estate explaining the monthly amount I receive since I do not have tax returns to submit. Would that suffice? Do I need to mark as unemployed and zero taxes paid? I cannot seem to find any information on this type of situation. Thank you for any help anyone can provide.

Hello what if I’m barely off by like $300 of meeting the guidlines if using previous year tax transcript, but know for sure with pay increase this year I make enough now? Am I safe to still submit or will need joint sponsor?
Hi Kseniya! Thank you very much for this explanation, it's helped a lot. I do have a concern though, If my income on my most recent tax returns is below the requirement, but I am now earning well above the required amount and can show proof through pay stubs and employee letters. would I still be requiring a sponsor to make up for the previous year's tax income transcript?
How do you claim a 19 month & a 4 year old that are on SSI because I'm over 65 years young. The SSI is used for them and can't be claimed on federal taxes coz it is my childrens non taxable income. Can't figure out where to get clarification on that. Also what good is the NVC process if you can't have more than $2,000 - $3,000 in your bank account?
I have a question about this process, I 864 and I 864a. I am sponsoring my wife to immigrate to the states. We are apply from abroad and I am a US citizen.

My granddaughter who turned 21 is going to apply for her mother (my daughter) who is here in the US, but my granddaughter is a full-time student and has no income. I have my granddaughter as a dependent on my IncomeTaxes. Her aunt (my second daughter) is going to serve as her Joint Sponsor. How does my granddaughter complete the i864 to indicate that she has no income and that she is my dependent? Should she attach my tax reports? How is part 5, 6 and 7 of the i864 completed then? I appreciate your valuable comments.
As active-duty military members, we have few tax exemptions like housing allowance and meals. my question is do I consider housing and meal allowance as income when calculating current income or should I use the previous year's w2? even just the federal income would be sufficient for sponsoring them. just trying not to get RFE. your input is appreciated. thanks.
hey man, did you ever recieve an answer at all? Im on the process of getting my wife up here from Panama (centrl America) Im also in The Army
@@alanroner3631did you figure it out? My husband is active duty AF and we're trying to fill out our form I864
Your videos are great, and I get a lot of useful information from them. I have a question about using a household members real estate as an asset for the i-186 and i-186A. In using assets to help supplement the income, how would I go about using real estate for my assets? and what proof would I need?
Hey Alan read the instructions for I-864
Thanks for the video. My spouse which is a US citizen didn’t file taxes last year because she was unemployed. She has a job this year with annual income that would qualify to sponsor me. Would it be a problem if we filed affidavits of support before tax deadline without tax returns? Will pay stubs be sufficient? Thanks.
I have the same situation. Please respond I would like to know
Same situation for me too. I would greatly appreciate a response
Hi Kseniya, thanks for the awesome pointers you've giving via this channel. 😆👏I would like to ask reg. filling the information for the most recent total income in the past consecutive years. Scenario:My husband was unemployed in 2021. I plan to submit the form this year 2022. Is it okay if we tick the box" I was not required to file a federal income tax return as my income was below..."and attach some proof stating that it's only for the year of 2021 only? Or if by ticking the box, we are indicating that it applies to all three years?
Hiiii thank you for your videos!! I have a quick question- Can I use my spouse’ s income as a household income if we have filed Federal tax return together but because of his work he lives in a separate state?
THANKS for all your informative and good videos. i really thank you. I have a question. my husband was retired last 3 years ago so we don't have w2 or 1099. we only have 1040. so please let me know if it is acceptable or not? and my husband has started working again since march this year. what kind of documents do I need to submit to prove he is working again? thanks again
Hi Kseniya, for the income for the past previous years (from tax transcript) it's adjusted gross income, but for calculating this year's income (from paystubs) is gross?
Thanks!
Great videos!! I have a question where should I add the income I receive from Child support ? Thank you
What documents or explanation does the petitioner aged 80 yrs need to submit if not filing tax returns since 2012 as he is retired? Please answer.
Hello, thanks for always sharing these informative content. I do have a question though, if my spouse who is the sponsor is currently unemployed but receives unemployment, would that compensation be classified as apart of his current individual annual income?
Likewise we filed our taxes jointly for the 2020 tax period, is it possible to use his individual wages from the W2 for his total income that tax year since our individual AGI is not shown on the tax transcript?
Unemployment does count as income, and you still have to include total income as listed on transcripts. Both of you W2s will serve as a “divider” to see whose income is being used
Hi Kseniya. Could you please advise if I should write $0 for my income on my tax returns for last year and two other years, if I did not work? I started a job in January this year but I did not have any income last year. I filed taxes jointly with my husband. He is my household sponsor. I cannot put his adjusted gross income on I864 since I did not earn that money. Is it correct? Please advise.
Same question, however the household member (dad) did file taxes with mom. Do I add their adjusted gross together?
Hi there. Thank you for the very informative video. I do have one question though if you could help me. My sponsor (my husband) will be providing an IRS/transcript for the past 3 years. Does he need to submit a W2/1099? Or a transcript is enough? Thank you! 🙏
Hello! This is what instructions say “If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns. Do not include copies of these forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your Federal individual income tax returns rather than a photocopy unless you filed a joint income tax return with your spouse and are qualifying using only your income.”
@@KseniyaInternational thank you! You’re so kind :)
Hi kseniya could you do a video on domicile requirement when sponsoring for a green card ? What happens if the sponsor has not lived in usa for a long time but wants to sponsor an immediate relative and return back to usa together ?
Your videos are very help full, I’m able to complete my Aos package by watching your videos…. My question is for the two prior years I earned above the poverty guide line, for this current year taxes I am a little under the guide line because I took some time off to help care for our new born… my yearly wages is above the guide line except for that one year. Will that be of any issue?
Yes USCIS will request a joint sponsor or you can watch this video th-cam.com/video/ad3VdJaLJXw/w-d-xo.html
Hello Kseniya, I'm a new subscriber and thrilled with your great sense of support !
I have a question:
My unemployment was cut by the end of Jan. And I have no source of income at the moment... What should I put as INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL INCOME? should I only put the only amount that I received in Jan from EDD which is around 1800?!
Thank you 💐
If you currently do not make any money, your current annual income is 0.
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you for your prompt response,Im the petitioner and I have joint sponsor, does my zero income at the moment, affect my parent's case?
@@shobairfoghani769 if you have a joint sponsor, your income as the petitioner is irrelevant
Dear Kseniya, Thank you for the video.
If I had a k-1 from my own business do I list this income on My current individual annual income ?
Hi Ksenia,do I need to file 0 income tax file if I applied for SSN on 27 of December 2022.And the date on SSN card is 27 december 2022.Do I need to file 0 income for 4 days in 2022? I will be a sponsor for my husband's greencard,I already filed a petition for him.Thanks you for all videos you are so helpful you are amazing!I just want to make sure I do everything properly
Please how do you report your taxes on I-864 if you have 2 jobs? Maybe one job is not making enough and you want to include the other job.
Hello Kseniya @Kseniya International
Thanks for the video.
I have one question that I couldn't find through the video.
I recently got married to a US citizen. She is an RN and has been working in the hospital since mid-2022.
I am on an F1 visa. I am currently pursuing my 2nd master's here in the US, and I currently don't work. (No CPT). But I worked until last year in October on STEM -OPT before my second master's began, so I had income and filled taxes to show for the last 3 years, which is above the federal poverty threshold.
So my qtns is in the form I-864: 24. c. 3rd Most Recent?
My wife started working professionally around mid-2022 and has a 1040 total income higher than the federal poverty threshold for 2022. and 2023. but 2021's total income (~10k) was way below the fed poverty threshold.
So, what could you recommend? Should we enter that total income (10k) into 24.c. in the 3rd most recent total income box a no?
Good morning, my income for last 2 years is not enough for a household size per I 864p guidelines because I was in school, but since January 2021 I started a new job which meets the guidelines. Please what can I do. ? Use the tax return for the pass years and get a joint sponsor Or is there any other way out like using my pay stubs and employment letter? Thanks
Hi, you may be Okay. Just make sure you provide a good amount of evidence for your current income, such as a letter from your employer and pay stubs from the past two months. I would also suggest including the terms of your employment, maybe there is a way to include that this is a long-term position etc.
hey @ Diane Nampe i am in a similar situation and would love to know if u needed a joing sponser or providing your current employment information was sufficient
I have the same issue. Any feedback from your cases?
Hi Kseniya, Thank you so much for sharing this videos. like you said the unemployment should count as income, we should count into the current annual income. Do i need to attach the unemployment income statement into the affidavit evidence if i put this income with my self-employed income ? Your immediate reply is appreciate.
Hello, Kseniya! Your videos are very helpful and informative. Please tell me my husband is a sponsor for me and my daughter and we have a uniform W-2 and 1099 for 2021 and his income allows us to sponsor, but we do not have Federal Income Tax Return for 2021he works for the employer, is it possible to submit only these forms without Federal Income Tax Return for 2021. Thank you so much for your help!
Hi Kseniya, great video! Im using my husbands income for support he will fill up I864A, does he need to fill up I-864 too? Thank you
Does it fine to mention only last year income? If the income is higher but we’ll not mention the last three years because the income for the other two years wasn’t enough but only for the last year was good enough,thanks a lot
What amount or block from the tax transcript do i put on the annual income ? the gross pay ? I hear most people had to redo theirs because info is conflicted and the guide does t specify exactly what info from the transcript goes on there
Hello Kseniya, I hope all is well with you. Question regarding taxes. I receive my income through inheritance monies from my parents estate. Since inheritance is not taxed, I do not have to file tax returns. I am planning on submitting an affidavit from the estate explaining the monthly amount I receive since I do not have tax returns to submit. Would that suffice? Do I need to mark as unemployed and zero taxes paid? I cannot seem to find any information on this type of situation. Thank you for any help anyone can provide.
I have two W2’s when it comes to upload them to NVC can I upload them both in one merged PDF or should I upload them separately? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you !
Hello Kseniya, we have to give explanation only if the deadline has passed right ?
Hello what if I’m barely off by like $300 of meeting the guidlines if using previous year tax transcript, but know for sure with pay increase this year I make enough now? Am I safe to still submit or will need joint sponsor?
Good video, thank you very much
Hi Kseniya! Thank you very much for this explanation, it's helped a lot. I do have a concern though, If my income on my most recent tax returns is below the requirement, but I am now earning well above the required amount and can show proof through pay stubs and employee letters. would I still be requiring a sponsor to make up for the previous year's tax income transcript?
They will probably request a joint sponsor. It happens a lot
How do you claim a 19 month & a 4 year old that are on SSI because I'm over 65 years young. The SSI is used for them and can't be claimed on federal taxes coz it is my childrens non taxable income. Can't figure out where to get clarification on that. Also what good is the NVC process if you can't have more than $2,000 - $3,000 in your bank account?
I have a question about this process, I 864 and I 864a. I am sponsoring my wife to immigrate to the states. We are apply from abroad and I am a US citizen. I was working until a year ago when I became temporarily disabled. So my W2s look like I make below the poverty line. How ever my wife makes way over the poverty line and her job will continue in the US when we immigrate. Question is will they allow us to share an income until Im not disabled or do I have to start working again or get a joint sponcer? Thnk you
Hi. Since my husband and I just got married this year, how do we accomplish line for Person 1 (#8 under Sponsor's Household Size?) do we need to fill it out? or do we leave it blank? My wife is still in the Philippines.

Suppose if wife get salary through his business of 10,000 yearly which is not enough to file i864 so what income wife will show in her income annual income and business income is suppose 40,000. so what income she will show in Total Income column and husband income column.

Thanks for a great video. I have one question, my wife earns well above the poverty guidelines, however as we filed a joint tax return, there were some jobs where I did not receive any 1099s. Do you know what the best thing to do is? If they are not included, will this be an issue?
Do I include my business taxes along with my personal taxes

Hello my partner was out of the USA due to work in Japan until August 2020. We only have her Taxes for half of last year, her current income is over the poverty line, should we file any of her taxes from Japan along with the other forms?
Excuse me Ms.Ksenya, what do you do if you just started working and have no tax returns? Also what about a joint sponsor? They just report another i-864 and that's it?
You have to provide proof of not filing I-864, the joint sponsor must submit I-864, tax returns, and W2.

Dear Kseniya, Thank you so much for making these videos. I am about to file GC for my mother who is earning $75K as H4 EAD. I am a college student and earning 8K. In this situation can I use my mother for joint sponsor for her GC? Meaning can I add her income in I864? My dad is in H1B `but I cannot apply for both the parents as my little sister will be out of status as soon as both my parents get green card. So I will apply for my mother then once she gets GC, She will apply for my father and Little sister.
@Kseniya: I'm a little confused about how to answer Part 6 Questions 1 to 4.
Because I'm Slef-Employed and I'm the CEO/Owner of my company. So What should I say in Question 1 & 4?
Please help.
Thanks
You do not need w2 if you submit tax transcripts, only if you include your tax return
If you file taxes jointly with your spouse you still must submit W2 even if you send in irs tax transcripts. It’s always best to send them in to avoid delays in your case.
I am full time student and did 10 week internship this summer, I am also using my husband as my joint sponser, Can I use the money I earned through summer internship as my annual income?
What do I need to submit as affidavit of support document(s) when petitioning for my family if I am an LPR since October 2020 and only worked in the US since February What do I submit instead of the tax returns as I can only file them in 2022?. My income is sufficient but I don't have tax return as I can file tax returns of mine in 2022.
Hello im a new subscriber ..i have a question im on the process of doing my affidavit of support..
I filed unemployment during the pandemic year 2020 ..do i have to add it as my anual income for the year 2020??
What if i have a rental property income and receive VA disability can i use that ? The guide says do not enter any social security payouts which is similar VA disability … So i guess that doesn’t count as income ?
And according to tax law if your have a sole proprietor rental property your NOT considered self employed and u cant call the rental income from your rental property as income
For lines 24a-c, what if your primary income is foreign (as I am currently living abroad) and through the foreign tax credit, your total income is basically $0. Do i report my income before the credit?
Thank you for the video. I have a question about the individual annual income. Should that be the income on the W2?
The answer to your question is in the video.
Hello, I have a question. For 2022, I have the W2 but won't have the tax return or transcript till mid February. Is it okay to just submit the W2 for 2022?
so i came to USA june 2022 and worked for almost 6 months and filled my tax returns, apx gross income of 26k and my taxable income was 6k deducting all the expenses (self employed)
. do i need a joint sponsor or should i explain that i only worked for 6 months and my current income could be like 40k based on my monthly income?
The current annual income would be gross or net? 🤔
Great question! General consensus seems to be Gross income.
Thank you for this info in the video. I don’t want to use my 2020 income because I was on a vacation for 5 months. So I want to use my current monthly income rate/hr multiplied by 12 even though I am in the middle of tax year, is that correct?
@@OmFatimah2016 when you indicate income you do current estimated income based on how much you’re expected to earn this year.
You’ll still have to provide last years taxes though in the next section
@@KseniyaInternational thanks!
Hi! Do I still need to include the W2 slips even if I already have the copies of IRS tax transcripts? Aren’t W2s included in the tax transcript already?
Hi, Kseniya. I just wanted to ask? What if my sponsor only has one year work history and income tax return? What are we gonna do?
I followed your video for this form and was told I didnt make enough as a sponsor and it was over 80k. I now have an rfe and want to submit Assets at this point since I dont have anyone willing to give me their info as sponsor. 😢
Hello Kseniya,
My parents are getting ready to submit form I-485 however they have not been able to report taxes for 2019 & 2020 because of an IRS discrepancy in one of my brothers ITIN number. Should they submit previous years?
