ITR Question about W2....

[Nathan_Neren 0]

Hello, I just wanna know what is the requirements for self employed? And if you are self employed do you still need the W2 or just the 1040? I'm so confused .

My list:

I-134 Affidavit of Support - Signed and notarized

Photo copy of IRS form 1040

Business permit

Business calling card

Bank statement

What else???

You can't supply something that never existed. The general thought is that self employed people will seldom declare extra income and pay extra taxes, just so they can qualify to sponsor an immigrant, when it's pretty easy for most to find a co-sponsor.

You might want to back up your income claims with the bank statements just in case anyway though. If you have a week, I'd go with the tax transcript instead of the 1040 though because it actually proves you claimed and were taxed on the income.

A tax return is more than a 1040. Send it all.
