Hi everyone,
I am so confused by this form even after reading the instruction and specifically the total income and annual income (from your tax return part). My husband did not know what to do either, so I hope someone here had the same experience and can share some advice.
Part 5 of the form Spouse Household income point 7 asking for the individual annual income ( which in my opinion is the sponsor -my hubby income). Later in part 6 point 24a is asking adjusted gross income form form 1040 IRS, which is our joint income since we filed together. The way is worder in part 6 it looks like they are asking just for the sponsor's income since it say "My total income ..." I googled it and found different info with two opposite answers. According to nolo.com only the sponsor's income needs to be included in part 6, however another website suggest that the number should match the number on the tax return regardless joint or individual and if they dont match my papers will be rejected and returned. I am confused as to which income I need to report in part 6 point 24a if you filled jointly, but only using one of us (the sponsor) income.
