3 Years taxes on I864

[Newcitizen 8]

Hello,

 

Question 15 in part 6. Asking the sponsor "Have you filed a Federal income tax return for each of the three most recent tax years"

 

That would be 2024, 2023 and 2022. 

 

The petitioner moved to the US in 2023.

 

Should the answer be Yes and write N/A on the 2022 field and explain on the extra fields that they moved to the US on 2023? Or should they answer No and explain the same way? 

 

They will be using a joint spoinsor anyway who meets and exceeds the requirements.

 

Thanks

That is irrelevant to whether the petitioner should have filed taxes since all US citizens must report world-wide income and file taxes (if income is over the threshold) regardless of where they reside.

 

Primary sponsors must report taxes, if required,  whether or not a Joint sponsor is used.

 

I would answer "no".  I would enter N/A, and explain why you were not required to file a tax form for the "N/A" years.

The petitioner is LPR. They moved to the US and became LPR in 2023.

 

Should this be treated the same? answer No and write the reason in the Additional Information fields at the end?
