I am self-employed and because I deduct part of the rent for home office the AGI goes much under the poverty requirement. The AGI in this case is misleading, because that rent also supports my wife who will live in the same apartment. Just because the IRS allows this deduction does not mean my income should seem lower than what it really is.
I've been considering attaching a note where I add the deduction back to make this clearer for USCIS, or should I just save this for the interview? The intention here is not to raise a flag first which may generate difficulties, but rather preempt it by the clarification.
Which way would be more effective?
