Should I include the 5 years tax transcripts in submitting my N400? They are only asking for my green card and marriage certificate which I already uploaded. Thanks..

So why would you send something that they are not asking you?

"D. Tax Returns and Overdue Taxes. Bring photocopies of income tax returns that you filed with the IRS for the past 5 years, or 3 years if filing for naturalization on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen. Tax returns are not required for every case. However, USCIS strongly encourages you to bring your tax returns; especially if you are filing based on marriage to a U.S. citizen or have traveled outside the United States for a period that lasted 6 months or more. You can request copies of Federal tax documents at your local IRS office or www.irs.gov. You may also bring an original IRS tax transcript listing tax information for the past 5 years (3 years if filing on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen). To obtain a free IRS tax transcript, visit www.irs.gov. Select “Tools” and then select “Order a Return or Account Transcript.” For assistance, you can also call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946. If you have any Federal, state, or local taxes that are overdue, bring: (1) A signed agreement from the IRS, state, or local tax office showing you have filed a tax return and arranged to pay the taxes you owe; and (2) Documentation from the IRS, state, or local tax office showing the current status of your repayment program

We just uploaded them (three years)

 

They never came up in the interview, but they do ask for them eventually.

 

We uploaded a lot more than just a green card and marriage cert.  We uploaded all the evidence listed at the bottom of the instructions.

 

So:  The interview was test, english, approval, about 20 minutes.

Did the same. If they’re going to ask for everything anyway, then why not let them have it before they ask. Might make the interview go faster, maybe, maybe not.

I included 5 years of tax transcripts and the topic didn’t come up in my interview.  Because I included 5 years of tax transcripts in my N-400

Front-loading supporting documents is always a good thing. Try to build a solid case from the beginning to make it easy on you later.

Go ahead and upload your tax returns for the last five years

Good luck
