My ROC was approved last week, and I am now starting to prepare for when the time comes to file for naturalization (I won't do that until September, but I like planning ahead). I reviewed the N-400 form (by the way, the current version of the form expired at the end of March, maybe they will issue a new version by September), and I see that it asks to list residence and employment for the past five years. Since I am applying based on the 3-year rule (marriage to a USC), I assume that I will only need to list my residence and employment for the past three instead of five years. Do I just strike the word 'five' and write 'three'? Or should I just list the information pertaining to the past 5 years?

Also, re: taxes. We always filed our tax returns (married filing jointly) and paid whenever we had to pay. This year, due to my wife (USC)'s employer's bad mistake, we had to pay a lot (like several thousands), basically because my wife's employer did not withhold any federal taxes. I only learned of this mistake when I saw her W2 when we were ready to file (I never saw her pay stubs throughout the year, otherwise I would have asked her to correct the mistake). We set up an automatic payment and the money was sent to the IRS timely. We don't owe anything. However, if I request our tax transcripts it will show that we had to pay, but I don't think it will show that we did in fact pay. Is there a way to get a document from the IRS showing that we did pay, and that we don't owe anything? I can print a screenshot of our bank account, showing that the payments were made, but I am not sure whether this would suffice. Any idea?

Thanks!
