Filing AOS - I-864 question

[kris_hetfield 11]

I was going to sponsor my wife with form I-864, but I haven't filed my taxes for last year yet. When filling out the form, can I use 2015 tax return as the latest return and explain that I haven't received my W-2 yet in order to file taxes for 2016 yet?

 

Thanks

hi

 

no need to explain, 2016 taxes aren't required until after April 15th for that very same reason, nobody can force you to file early

 

you have up to April 15th to file 2016 taxes, so any affidavit of support sent before that date will be sent with 2015 tax as the most recent tax

 

if she has the interview after that date, she can take a new i864 with the 2016 tax
