Need a Copy of Your Tax Return Information?

Requesting transcripts (individuals):

You have three easy and convenient options for getting copies of your federal tax return information--tax return transcripts and tax account transcripts--by phone, by mail, or online.

Our new online ordering method, Order A Transcript, is available and makes ordering simple.

You may also request transcripts by calling 1-800-908-9946, or order by mail using IRS Form 4506T (Request for Transcript of Tax Return).

We do not charge a fee for transcripts. Allow five to ten days for delivery if you order online or by phone.

you do not need to send tax transcripts with your N-400

you do not need to send tax transcripts with your N-400

so you sent in every other document BUT tax transcripts?

and you will show your tax transcipts come the time of your interview?

and you will show your tax transcipts come the time of your interview?

they will tell you what to bring to your interview. if you look at the instructions for filing the N-400, the only requirements are the check, two pictures, front and back copy of green card, and the actual application.

hmmm

are you filing on the basis of marriage to a u.s citizen?

If you are applying for naturalization on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen, send the following 4 items:

1. Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last 3 years:

a. Birth certificate (if your spouse never lost citizenship since birth); or

b. Certificate of Naturalization; or

c. Certificate of Citizenship; or

d. The inside of the front cover and signature page of your spouse’s current U.S. passport; or

e. Form FS-240, Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America; and

2. Your current marriage certificate; and

3. Proof of termination of all prior marriages of your spouse (divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s)); and

4. Documents referring to you and your spouse:

a. Tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children; or

b. Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past 3 years; or

c. An IRS tax return transcript for the last 3 years.

so you're telling me you didn't send in anything regarding point 4?

Not if he's applying under the 3 year marriage rule. Then he needs to send a lot more.

You are right regarding the transcripts, though, you do not need to send them IF you send tax returns and other information, or IF you send IRS certified copies.

You only need to send one of each. For example, if you send in a copy of your spouse's passport (the front cover and signature page), you don't need to send the other parts of that question (a, b, c and e). In my personal situation I have send the following:

1. d

2. marriage certificate

3. n/a (never got married before)

4. a

Now, many people will argue that it is better to send tax transcripts, I'm not so sure about. The only difference, from what I can see, is that you do not need to find all the other information and send it to them. It makes it easier, but I don't think it matters all that much in the end. If you had to send those transcripts instead of all that other stuff, they would have mentioned them by them self.

These things are indeed the only things you need to send with the application with, of course, any court evidence and such if you 'ever' have been arrested. But this is all additional to the application and not standard, most people will not have to do that. If there is anything they want but is not considered an RFE, yet still requested, you will have to bring it to the interview from what I understand.

Regarding tax return for the past 3 years, do we still need to send the w2 for each year we are sending in or just the 1040 would suffice?

I didn't send in the w2's, not even the whole return. I just send in the 1040 like I also did with my AOS and that never was any problem either so I doubt this would be
