Hi guys! Today we received the paper RFE from USCIS. It says:

Please submit a complete Federal Income Tax return submitted to the IRS from the form I864, Affadavit of Support, for the most recent tax year.

We sent our application in December, so that would be the year 2012. I sent a letter from the IRS to USCIS when we filed stating that I had no income for the year 2012; therefore, there was no return. The next line of the letter from USCIS says:

If you were not required to file a Federal income tax return under U.S. tax law, please provide a statement stating why you are exempt and/or provide evidence of the exemption and why you are subject to it.

Can anyone tell me what I should do since I already sent the documentation that the IRS gave me stating why I didn't file? Should I provide a letter plus additional years? I could also provide my W2 from this year but I haven't filed my return yet.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me!

hi

you needed to send a letter not from the irs but by you explaining why you didn't file 2012 taxes.

do you have a joint sponsor?

No. We don't have a joint sponsor. I make enough money. I just wasn't in the country in 2012, so I had no income.

Provide a statement that states just that. You did not file taxes for 2012 because you did not meet the income threshold to be legally obligated to file under IRS Pub. 17. You can also let them know you have not yet filed your 2013 taxes but are proving them a copy of your 2013 W-2.
