3 Years Taxes from USC?

[JLRSRK 0]

Hi again.....Is it really necessary to have three years of tax information submitted? So it would be 2005, 2006 and 2007. I have '06 and '07....I just can't find my copies of '05. I submitted them, so I know I can go back to my accountant and ask for copies, also, I'm sure they are in the house somewhere, I just don't know if I need to go that far to look to find them? Any ideas? I make well over the 125%, so just need to know if I need all three years. My fiance will interview in Mumbai.

thanks!!!!!

Why not order tax transcripts from the IRS? They are free and the most acceptable, both abroad and here in USA while doing AOS.

Plenty of people (including me) didn't submit three years of tax forms, so it is not an absolute requirement. However better safe than sorry, you never know when they will suddenly make a big deal out of a small thing. So I would order those tax transcripts for the three years today online at irs.gov, and submit them before the interview.

Same as what ELW syas. it is very easy to get last 3 years tax-transcript from IRS. Also, if you pay them some fee, they will send you a copy of return.

I wouldn't go short on these things - take 3 years return. Interviewer can make big deal out of any small thing - deny them a chance to do that.

ELW - I am ever grateful to you.
