lack of taxes

[dtbrooklyn 0]

Hello all.

I have a quick i-864 question. I am filing with a joint sponsor, my parents, who have plenty of income and savings to meet the requirements. However, I have been living abroad for the better part of 4 years. In 2007, i filed taxes, and have a return. In 2009 I just (last week) filed taxes on my foreign income because I am well below the 90,000 dollar exception. I will be filing the 2010 taxes as soon as I can. However, in 2008 I really didn't have any taxeable income in any foreign country as I moved from Argentina to Colombia, and was studying spanish, etc... When I called the IRS they said that there was NO NEED to file any tax return for that year.

For the i864 will it matter at all if i have no tax return for that year, given that my joint sponsor can meet all the requirements?

or should i just file a tax return that says 0 dollars in income, just to have it?

thanks,

dt

Once your joint sponsor meets all the requirements all you need to do is attach a written explanation to your I-864 as to why you did not or was not required to file taxes.

Hey,

check out this site: http://www.efile.com/tax-form/tax-return-form/ it should have all the forms from 2009. The only difference, is that you have to mail them in at this point. If you are outside the country, you can fill the forms in, email them to someone in the ountry to file them by mail.

Write a letter and have it -notarized- as to why you were not required to file taxes that year. My son was in a similar situation and that is what the visa information office in DC advised him to do.
