I-864, Sponsored immigrant
If you know the answer, please help.
My spouse is a US citizen and I am the immigrant. I am the person who
has income and tax returns. Can I become the second sponsor for myself
and file an I-864 for myself?
Thanks.

You cannot file an I-864 as a "joint sponsor" for yourself.
However, if you have lived in the same household as your wife for at least 6
months, you can have your income counted as part of *her* I-864 for you.
The way you do this is to complete Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and
Household Member. It is to be notarized by both you and your wife. Read
all the instructions carefully and you'll see what I mean.
