Income Tax return

[Allie 5]

Hi all

One more question we are needing assistance with.

Will I require a copy of my Fiance's income tax return for my interview

when that time arrives ?

She has the letter of employment from her employer along with recent pay stubs

We have searched through numerous boxes but cannot find her last yrs. income tax return.

Can anyone that has already had thier interview tell us if we need the tax return. Do they ask for it?

I'll be heading back home Jan 3 and we are wanting to have everything I'll be requiring for Montreal

Any help with this matter would be appreciated very much

Thanks

Allie & Lorry

You will need a copy of the last 3 years tax returns (2003,2004,2005) You can get copies from the IRS. Good Luck on your interview!

All Consulates are different...some want one year some want more... Our Consulate wants only last years..

Yes it matters...if they want last years..or more...you need to have them...if you don't have them..you can get a transcript of them from IRS I don't have the link..but search here..or maybe go to IRS's web site... the transcript is free

And some consulates (like London) only require tax returns if the USC is self employed.

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me if you were self employed at the time of your interview

As I just read something about needing the tax return if self employed

This tax thing is very confusing as they do't explain very clearly just what they want on the

Thanks Allie

They have instructions here under Guides or FAQ's and the I-134 has an instruction sheet.. that talks about this...

And yes you need Tax Forms if your Self-Employed... You need to prove income.. how will you do it if your self-employed? and don't have wage Stubbs ? and even with wage stubbs most consulates want IRS transcripts or W4's

If you have neither because you worked under the table...or self-employed and running the biz under the table.. you will need a Co-sponser... and need to explain your unemployment because you can't really claim your working if your running it illegally...I'm not saying you did..or our..I'm just trying to cover some bases..

Now if you submitted the I-129F before you thought this out...and you showed self-employment but can't prove it because you didn't file taxes for the Company...Well...I think I would use a Co-Sponser still..

Good Luck...

Hi Chris thanks for your input on the previous question. No Lorry's not self employed she works for a company here in WA

What we were wanting to know was it only if a person is self employed do they need the tax returns from last yr. as we read that somewhere When they required yours were you a self employee

If the every day employee needs to show it then we'll have to get it from IRS

Thanks for the help Chris

Why not post this same question in the Canada forum on this site?

People who are not going thru your same consulate can only speculate at the answer to your question.

I haven't checked... but you might check the Embassy info link above or even in the reviews they say what is needed sometimes.. or PM another Canadian that has gone through it..

But if your asking if you need a W4 or a Transcript.. the answer as far as I've seen is "Yes" I've never heard of anyone that only needed pay stubs.. but how many years you need is up to your consulate,,

I'd PM others that have gone through your consulate...you can find them in the reviews at the top of the page here..

The answer for either of the Candian Consulates is definitely yes on the need for IRS transcripts... They only require the last year...

You need form 4506 from the IRS to obtain a certified copy of any tax return. You will need to pay a nominal fee (about $10 per year). Also, if your embassy interview is not scheduled for some time, you might just get the 2005 and 2004 returns and provide the 2006 when it is prepared this year. We are now into the new tax filing season.

You can get this at the IRS web site at www.irs.gov/ . Just look for forms and the form number is 4506. Make sure you download the instructions too.

I am pretty sure the requirement is not set by the Embassy involved. It is standard for all embassies. They want one tax return if you are an employee, Three tax returns if you are self employed. They also want three recient pay stubs and of course a letter from your employer. They perfer the IRS transcripts but copies of the returns are acceptable.

I've never heard of someone in London needing to provide tax returns unless they are self employed.
