Hi everyone. I've read that my fiancee will be required to bring my tax returns from the last three years to her interview in Guangzhou. The problem is, I was not required to file a tax return in 2013 because my income was below $10,000 as I wasn't working during my final year of college and only started work in China in September of 2013. I have my tax returns from 2012 and 2011, but none for 2013 since I didn't need to file this previous year. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys, So as I've posted before, I'm preparing for my wife's CR-1 interview just weeks from now (Nov. 20th). I have just about everything ready, and I'm using a joint sponsor (my grandparents) for the financial support requirement. But I've recently learned that, despite using the joint sponsor, I need to fill out form i-864 myself, as the petitioner. So my problem becomes that I didn't file taxes for the last two years. For 2012, it's no big deal -- I was still in the U.S. for that entire year, unemployed, so I just filled out a standard 1040 and will attach that to my i-864 with a note explaining that I was in school that year. For 2013, I was in China -- i arrived in China and started work in February (on a tourist visa, eep). I worked for the entire year (I stopped working in June 2014), and my income, as calculated, was roughly 68,000RMB. I know I need to fill out another 1040 for 2013, and I know I need to attach to that either a 1116 or a 2555-EZ. I think it's the 2555-EZ that I need. I finally found the 2013 2555-EZ (thanks, Daniel), and am now struggling to fill it out. Line 11a of 2555-EZ in particular, at the moment, is confusing me: "List your tax home(s) during 2013 and date(s) established." I don't know if i fill out with like the countries listed and the dates I was there in parenthesis after or what, and of course the instruction PDF for 2555-EZ doesn't list anything about line 11a. I arrived in China on Feb. 17th of 2013. I was on a tourist visa until I returned to the U.S. from June 1st—June 11th to get my work/Z visa. I returned to China on June 11th of 2013 and from then on to this day I have remained in China. If Randy is out there, I could really use your help with this damn form! - Sam
