should i submit only the most recent tax return or from last 3 years

[paro 30]

Hi everyone,

I am ready to submit the package to NVC. But I am confused. My lawyer wants to send only the most recent, 2014 tax return, w-2 of the joint sponsor. I asked him why not submit last 3 years but he said its not necessary.

The reason why I am asking this question is because when we submit 130 package, I asked him to send everything like pictures and chat logs etc to USCIS. So we wont' get an RFE but he said no. the beneficiary will take pics etc to the interview. And guess what, uscis asked for proof of bona fide marriage.

Now what should I do??? should I just send the most recent or last 3 years.???

Thanks

hi

it's not necessary, but if you're sending the i864 for petitioner and the i864 for joint sponsor now, the most recent tax is 2013 not 2014

after tax season is over, April 15th, only then the most recent tax will be 2014, now it's 2013

you have to write down the amount of the last 3 years of taxes, but then you check the box that you are only submitting the last one

I was thinking by the time, NVC will look at my paper work, it would be April or may already. I just do not want to get a check list. that is why, just to be on safe side, I was planning to send 3 years.

I will also include my tax return for the 2013. however, I would just write a letter explaining why I did not file tax return for 2014 because I did not work.

You could be right but it doesn't make sense to me what you said. The "most recent" isn't the latest one someone filled? If one filled 2014 already isn't it the "most recent"? Why tax season has to end for 2014 to become most recent?

Make sure you watch the form, if you're filling it out on a computer and are sending just the most recent tax transcript--For some reason it kept filling in that we were sending all of them, so we had to leave that blank, print it off and then fill that bit out by hand.

Also, we only sent in that last year (2013) and we made it through with no checklist.

For year 2014 Tax filing is due on April 15. hats why its mentioned most recent. Since you are just mailing this in I would highly recommend you have your 2014 done. Usuallt NVC wants it starting in March. So your most recent when you file would be 2014. You can try and go with sending in 2013 as most recent but just be warned.

Also only most recent tax year filed is required to send in the other two years is optional that's your choice your lawyer is correct on that.

Hey I sent 2013, 2012, and 2011 and sent in extension for 2014. Do you think I will get away sending the extension for 2014 and not the 2014 return itself? Or would I get checkist? Appreciate the help!!!!

They have until October to file so yes the extension is fine. I would have the 2014 W2 at interview just n case.
