I have asked this before, but I'm going to reopen the question, because I'm not sure I got a definitive answer.

We're literally days away from filing. All of our tax papers are sent but IRS has not yet received them. They are not in the system.

Now, I am wondering if I should still go ahead and send the AoS with a copy of our amended tax return or wait until it's in IRS's system. I'm am leaning towards sending it right away, because, way I look at it, IRS doesn't have it yet, but we're still showing USCIS a copy of what they will have when they do receive it..

What do you guys think?

Well, my husband sent his tax papers to the IRS on the SAME day we sent out our AOS, and thank god, til this day there wasn't any problem in doing so. His is probably in the IRS system now cos he received letters from the IRS regarding his taxes...Honestly, we didn't even think there would be a problem. If USCIS really wanted to check, they could call the IRS and ask them whether he has filed...

It took about a month plus for him to received letters from IRS regarding his tax to him. So, i doubt you would want to wait that long? B-)

Hope that helps. =]

You could be pro-active, send off the returns FACE TO FACE at local IRS office. From his hand to a government worker.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Kittyfang, I think you are over-analyzing things... It is not your concern about IRS putting your tax return in "their system". You mailed your tax returns - your job is done.

I have never even thought of things like that, I would mail the tax return and use it whenever I need it.

Submit your AOS! By the time they cash the checks, go over the papers, issue NOA and etc IRS will have your tax return in "their system".

If you do it face-to-face, have them stamp your copy that it was received, and send a copy of THAT in with your AOS.

Didn`t do it face to face, didn`t know I could, but I`ll know for future references.

You still haven't filed for AOS?

The immigration people don't talk to the tax people. They are drones, and all they check is if you have the past 3 years' tax returns in your AOS package. They could be fake, for crying out loud, but that would be fraud on the applicant's part.

Send a copy of your copy of your tax returns; that's all that's needed!

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Got it! Send it asap! Thx guys!

No, still not sent. Only need the medical now. We had a family emergency that drained what we had set aside for medical, but it`s over now, so medical should be done very soon.
