More details to this question:
I am a US citizen, full time student and I am applying for my father. I have filled out tax but my income is not enough and I am not eligible supporting my father. So I have told to use the joint support. Thanks.

Yes, you as the petitioner are still considered the primary sponsor even if your income does not suffice. Therefore, you still need to provide your financials even if you are using someone else as a joint sponsor. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

Yes, the principal sponsor must still submit I-864 even if he does not have enough income and will submit a co-sponsor's I-864.

Yes. Even though you don't earn enough to sponsor your father, as the petitioner, you are still required to file an executed I-864, with supporting documentation.
