Unemployed and have no previous tax returns - How do I file form I-864?

[femmefatality]

I'm filing on behalf of my spouse. I'm currently unemployed with technically $0 income. I'm 21 years old and I studied abroad from 18-20 years (working part time concurrently). I returned to the US last year, and only worked for 6 months. Since then, I have been unemployed. I have never filed a tax return in the United States. I don't know how to access my W2's from my very brief employment. How do I explain this to the USCIS and fill out form I-864? I am planning to have a joint sponsor in order to prove I can support my spouse. I'm just concerned about my lack of tax reports.

Thank you!

You may have to include a letter with your form-I-864

Check your last pay stub for last year and look for how much u made for the whole year, usually found under the YTD (Year To Date area) or if you don't have that info, check with your previous employer to supply you with that info. Per IRS regulations, based on certain circumstances, like your age, marital status, filing status and how much you made for the whole year, you're exempted from filing - if you didn't make that much.
