Hi,

I have my N-400 interview next week, but I have tax transcript for 2012 and 2013 only. I think I may need more time to complete my 2014 taxes. Is it mandatory to bring at least 3 yrs tax transcript? or 2 yrs would be fine?

Thank you!

This is always a grey area during the first part of the year because it depend on when you file your 2014 taxes as to when it becomes the current tax year. Since ost people file on or before April 15th, you have until that time to file your taxes. Some people file for an extension which gives them until October 15th of the same year and as long as they pay the amount due or are due a refund they avoid interest and late payment penalties. The USICS is using the tax form to see what you claim as income and to verify that you are complying with the law of filing a US income tax. That does not mean you cannot use the rules as established by the IRS when filing your taxes.

If you have filed for an extension, take that along to the interview. If not, you can either state you are going to file your taxes by April 15th or will be filing an extension, which ever is the truth. You may want to show all tax returns you have filed since becoming a US LPR just to show that you are complying with the law.

If the interview is next week, you continue to be in full compliance with the law, irrespective of your 2014 filing. IF it comes up at the interview, be honest about where you stand with the filing status. Helps to carry previous returns to demonstrate a pattern of prior compliance.

April can be a grey area with respect to tax status and USCIS, but you have till 11:59 pm on April 15 to file.

Good luck at the interview!

If the interviewer wants to see you're 2014 return, he'll ask you to mail in a copy and will hold up your approval until you do.

If he doesn't care, he'll approve you.

However, since you have 10 days to file your return, why don't you just do it now? Will waiting 10 days make a difference financially?

If you intend to file for an extension, you still need to do that in the next few days.
