Is W2 form required to be attached with tax return?

[GgraceMF 3]

Hello everyone!

I'm filling out N400 online (5 years rule) and for additional evidence part I'm thinking to attach my tax returns. However, I found that I couldn't find my W2 forms of 1 year. I thought I have all years but I failed to find this one. Is W2 form required for a tax return to be provided for naturalization? Thank you so much for your help and happy new year!

If submitting copies of personal tax returns, you do have to include copies of all the W2s/1099s.  You might be better off requesting tax transcripts and using those.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you so much for the prompt response and the link! I've never heard of tax transcripts and having it can have the same function as tax returns without W2? Thanks again!

Why?

 

I never uploaded tax forms, but brought 3 years with me to the interview. Never asked.

It didnt require me to submit them online either. I just thought it might be better to include them into my additional materials in N400 online application. Mine is 5 years rule. Thanks!
