Part 6. Sponsor's Employment and Income
My total income(...)as reported on my federal tax returns on the most recent 3 years.
For couple filing joint returns, the Total Income on the tax return is the sum of both spouses income less applicable deduction. Do I suppose to report this Total Income as listed on the 1040 form, or do I need to break it down to reflect individual income without the consideration of deductions.
-If you want to use the whole family income for the support (your spouse file I-864A), then report the total income from 1040 there. otherwise, only report your personal income, but provide the copy of the joint-tax return.
Appreciate your clarification.
