RFE (I-485)

[MachoAndCutiePie 1]

Hi,

 

I received an RFE (Pink Letter) stating to add the recent complete Federal Income Tax Return submitted to the IRS. I will send back the pink letter, the 1040 tax return, and a cover letter? Is the cover letter needed?

 

Thanks,

M

Read the I-864 Instructions:

Quote

Item Numbers 23.a. - 25. Federal Income Tax Return Information. You must provide either an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year. If you believe additional returns may help you to establish your ability to maintain sufficient income, you may submit transcripts or photocopies of your Federal individual income tax returns for the three most recent years. You are not required to have the IRS certify the transcript or photocopy unless specifically instructed to do so by a Government official; a plain transcript or photocopy is acceptable. Do not submit copies of your state income tax returns. Do not submit any tax returns that you filed with any foreign government unless you claim that you were not required to file a Federal individual income tax return with the United States Government and you wish to rely on the foreign return solely to establish the amount of your income that is not subject to tax in the United States. If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns. Do not include copies of these forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your Federal individual income tax returns rather than a photocopy unless you filed a joint income tax return with your spouse and are qualifying using only your income

If you are sending a copy of your 1040 from your own records, you need to enclose the W2 as well (and 1099, if any).

 

A cover letter is not required, but it doesn't hurt if you add one. Good luck
