IRS BACKLOG CAUSING 2021 TAX RETURN DELAYS-what to upload?

[theblooray 124]

Hello beautiful people!

 

As the title says, IRS is extremely backlogged with tax filings and I have no idea as to when ours will be processed. Our i130 application for parents is now at the NVC stage. What is everyone else doing? Waiting? Or just uploading a 1040 and pay stubs? Has anyone been accepted in this manner?

If you cannot upload the transcript you should upload complete tax return submitted AND W2s/1099s. 

 

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.

My husband uploaded a copy of  his 2021 tax returns with all schedules and a statement explaining why he does not have W2s/1099s and NVC accepted our documents.
