IRS 1040 form required for interview?

[johnny206]

Hi All,

 

My fiancee is getting ready for the interview soon. I have the I-134 completed with pay stub and employment verification letter from my manager. Is this enough or I need to give her copies of my tax return for the previous 3 years? The tax return forms are required for the interview?

 

Thanks!

The interviewing officer will let her know if it is required. If so, the visa may be delayed until it is supplied.

 

You may wish to be prepared for the interview. It's your choice - the visa is optional.

1040 or get transcripts. 1040s require other evidence attached to them like W2 and/or 1099 forms, transcripts do not, transcripts are a complete report of what was filed with the IRS.

I recently got them, the site will generate them on line and you can directly print them or save the PDF email them and GF can print them. No waiting for them in the mail.

I'm in China. All my W-2s and 1099s are in a filing cabinet in the States. I do have PDFs of my tax information on my computer that I can print out. Do I really need those W-2s and 1099s? Can IRS transcripts be used instead of copies of tax returns?

Yes - the transcripts will do just fine! You might otherwise get blue-slipped for the missing information.

The I-864 is specific about transcripts..

Does this mean that my dad can simply fill out an I-864, and email me the transcripts for his tax returns? That would save a LOT of hastle and time.

 

I am assuming the transcripts are in PDF format.

Yes, our if your father trusts you with his SSN you could log into the IRS site and retrieve the PDF files yourself.
