While preparing Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, the sponsor has to uncover total income as reported on the federal income tax returns for the last three years.
The sponsor also has to attach a copy of the most recent year’s federal income tax return. But what if your profit was below the IRS required level, and there was no need for you to file a federal income tax return?
No need to File a federal Income Tax Return
Not every person should file a federal income tax return every single year. As a rule, in case your aggregate income per year is not more than the standard deduction and one exemption, and you do not depend on another taxpayer, then there is no need for you to file a federal tax return. The amount of profit that you are able to get before you are required to file a tax return is also subject to the type of profit, your filling status and, of course, your age.
Are you aware of the fact that minor mistakes on the Form I-864 Affidavit of Support can be the reason of rejections and costly delays?

Sample Declaration
In this situation you need to attach evidence that the profit you get is lower than the threshold indicator to file an IRS federal income tax return.
If everything is pretty simple in your case, presenting evidence can be as easy as submitting a personal declaration that there was no need for you to file a tax return. Here you can find a sample declaration that can be adopted for your own use.
On top of all this, other forms of evidence may be included such as W-2S or 1099s that evidence your profit level was lower than the IRS required level to file a tax return.
Use of a Joint Sponsor
Remember that if there was no need for you to file a federal income tax return, it is possible that your income is not enough to support the potential immigrant. Your affidavit will definitely require the additional income from other family members or a joint sponsor.
