Thanks Life_love for your contribution.
You are right, apparently I was required to upload them (tax returns) since I am lacking a 5 years continuos residency (I had a trip of 8 months at the beginning of my permanent residency).
I uploaded the tax transcripts as well (since I read they are “more effective”) so like you said I should be fine document-wise and I always have the chance to explain the gap of 8 months at time of interview.
Wish me luck!
Hi all,
I am starting this topic as have decided to file the form N400 - 90 days earlier my 5 years anniversary as a permanent resident.
However, I am stuck with one of the requirement which is the collection of the last 5 years return transcript.
More in detail, on the IRS website I cannot find the return transcript for my first year as a permanent resident (2013) even though at that time I filed a tax return by using TurboTax and entering $0.0 in all the fields (in 2013 I was not working but a friend of mine suggested me to file the tax return anyways in order to start showing my presence to the IRS).
The only document/proof that I could find on their website is the account transcript for 2013 that shows an account of $0.0.
My questions are:
1) do you think I may still be able to get a return transcript if I send a request by mail or the fact that I didn’t declare any amount higher than $0.0 (since I didn’t have any income) will make this request not answerable.
2) would the account transcript in my posses work for that purpose (application for citizenship) or I will need to wait for another year/tax return to be able to apply for citizenship?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help on this matter of great importance.
