Wait... previously said you worked in the Phils. If you did not work at all, and had no income whatsoever, you do not need to file taxes with the IRS.

If you did not work at all during the year, not in the Philipines and not in the USA or elsewhere, and you had no other taxable income (and they will find out...), then you can write a letter of explanation. Your letter about why you didn't file taxes should be short and sweet, and include your original signature. Here is what my husband wrote:

To Whom It May Concern:

I am Mr Penguin, Penguin's husband and petitioning sponsor. I did not file an income tax return for the years 2005, 2006 or 2007 because I have not worked during my 3 year residence within the Republic of Ireland. Once I came to Ireland, I was unable to find work and so used savings; I was maintained by my wife upon her income and savings. Since I made no income for these years of any type, I was not required to file an income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service.

Sincerely, Mr Penguin.

Bye: Penguin

Thank you very very much for that "template" latter, Penguin!

I am on the verge of starting the DCF process for my husband in Germany and I have not filed taxes for the past 4 years due to either having no income or falling below the IRS minimum (which was $3,800 for 2012). I've even spoken with the IRS regarding this and I know I do not have to file with them. I will now be writing up a letter similar to yours. Thanks again!

I am the USC, my husband is German.

I resided in Germany from July 2008-October 2013.

I have two stepsons who are staying in Germany.

Our son was born 3/3/2012 and our daughter was born 4/4/2015.

okay thank you ms penguin.. i'll update you what happened next! thank you very much!

It'd be great to learn of 'what happened now', as 'next' apparently is over-rated and of no consequence.

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