2005 taxes

[nemank 0]

hello all!

My wife has her AOS interview in Detroit on March 20. I have a new job now, making a very good salary, so I am filling out a new Affidavit of Support I-864 along with my new employment letter. However, I have not filed my 2005 taxes yet, so on the "current tax year" page of the I-864 I am still writing down 2004 and using the gross adjusted income for that year. I'm avoiding to submit my 2005 taxes before the interview because during that year I had a part time job and was unemployed for half that year (I didnt make enough to meet the poverty guideline for that year).

I dont think it should be a problem writing down the 2004 tax year, taxes are not due till mid april anyway. Should this be a problem? Please provide some comments.

That's the way I read it. Since tax return deadlines are not until April 15th, it would only be wise to file early if they serve to help your case.

As I've told others: don't put off what you can easily do. File your tax return for 2005, as you're going to need to anyways, and bring along the return with your W2s, pay stubs from your shiny new job, and a letter saying you work for New Company as a New Job Role for $This Much Money a year/hour.

you can just bring the w2 forms.

good luck

We have not filed taxes for 2005 by the time we had interview. The officer did ask why, to which we replied "procrastination." If you have enough of other evidence of living together as a married couple, then not having 2005 taxes should not be an issue.

I only had print outs of our 2004 tax returns, just the copy we filed. I think it was just a copy of our 1040 and it was acceptable.
