my spouse (sponsor) is submitting I-864 for me (beneficiary). we did joint federal tax last year and our 1040 tax return form shows combined gross income. we have used same combined gross income amount from 1040 tax form in I-864 part-6 (24.a) . My spouse has enough income without adding my income to fulfill federal poverty salary requirement based on household size. The amount that we included in part 6 - (24.a) is our combined federal gross income and does that mandate me to submit I-864 A form ?
OR will it be better to put my spouse gross income only based on W2 form and not worry about any I-864 A form?
