If you and your wife file tax returns as "single" or "head of household," rather than "married/separate," you are presumed to be living separately and cannot combine your incomes for sponsorship purposes.

If you and your wife file as "married/separate," (the correct way if living together), you combine your incomes, using the I-864 and I-864A to constitute a single co-sponsor entity.
