Asking for help with "request for initial evidence" letter i just got.

[maximmm]

Hi all, i'm new to this forum and i learned a lot by reading some articles here.

My story : I'm in US for 3 years and just got married 5 months ago. I was all the time on I-20 and F-1 student status and half a year ago i got my OPT (Work permit) and start working since March 2015.
My wife is my petitioner and we sent all the documents and initial evidence about 2 months ago. Yesterday i got a "ping letter" request for initial evidence by mail.
In the letter it's written : "The petitioner/sponsor's household member on form I-864 or form I-864A must submit a complete federal income tax return submitted to the IRS for the most recent tax year (2014)"
So who need to submit the the tax return ? me or my wife ? i'm confused.
If that's me i did not worked before march 2015 and had no income, how can i submit those evidence ?
On the I-864 my fife is the sponsor but i added myself as a household member to include my income. Can that be the problem ? I added a letter from my employer that i will be working after the process of adjusting my status and receive my permanent resident.

Will appreciate any kind of help.

Thank you.

yes if you put yourself on the household income then they need prove how did you get that money. If you do not have any tax return paperwork then you have to show bank statement or previous salaries from your employer. you need a prove that you have that amount of money. it is the same with your wife. She needs to prove all the money she put on the I-864 form. bank statements, return tax forms. everything that they are saying in that letter. I hope that helps.
