Legal Question in Immigration Law in Ohio

Annual income of $20,500 is not enough for a sponsorship, assuming that there are only 3 people who will be included into this joint sponsor's household, and he is not married, has no kids: sponsor, your husband, and another immigrant he had already sponsored).

For a household size of 3, a sponsor has to show that he makes above $22,887 a year.

However, you say that sponsor "paid $20,500 in taxes last year". I understand this as his adjusted gross income, which is what required to show in the affidavit of support. Maybe I misunderstood your statement?

To qualify for a green card, a person has meet a number of requirements. Being sponsored by a wife and a joint sponsor is just one of many.

The primary thing that the USCIS will be concerned with is whether it's a real marriage or a "marriage scam", and you will have to prove that this is a valid bona fide marriage before his green card will be approved.

If your co-sponsor makes above the amount determined to be the poverty line for the size of his household, including your husband, then this should be acceptable.
