Question on Tax Return for affidavit of support.

Hi All
I am soon to be a citizen and I have filed I-130 for my husband who is on H1 here. Now we will file I-485 as soon as I become a US Citizen.
As I was going through Form I-864 Affidavit of Support it says I have to submit copy of Tax returns for last 3 years. Now last year our CPA filed tax return seperately each as a Household so that we can save some money. We are not aware of any IRS rules and we thought whatever she is doing must be right. So my question is : 1) how much risk is involve in this situation?
2) what exactly they are looking for when they go through the tax returns?
3) what should we answer if they ask anything about it?
I have lost my sleep because of this.
I have received many help from this forum. I am really appriciationg each of you.

Thanks for your reply. But so do I have to meet the 125% of Poverty Line for all 3 years??

I cant imagine how filing tax return separately could have saved you money. Do you have other dependents?

Yes you have to meet 125% of poverty guidelines for 3 years.

By filing these returns separately is not going to be a problem for your Naturalization case but it may become an isse during the AOS interview.

If I have to meet 125% Poverty line for all three years then my husband has to file form I-864 A to support me. We will be quite okey for the recent year.

I know there wont be any problem in my Naturalization Process. I am concern about the interview for AOS only. Thats why I was asking what exactly they are looking for when they look at the tax returns?
Thanks
