ok so i was talking about my fiance requesting a tax return copy from irs,since he lost his 2008's.he told me that he didnt file taxes back in 2007,and thats what they need right?considering we filed in 2010,they will need 2009,08 and 07?

and is that enough to nominate us for co sponsorship?

you can order a tax return ranscript from the irs for 2008. it is free.

the problem and question is about 07,when his income was lower than poverty guidelines and failed to file taxes

In our case they only cared about 2009 but ymmv since you are in Malaysia.

nah,I'm Iranian and live in Iran.Malaysia was just the most convenient place for us to meet.

well I'm not sure if one year is enough,every website or every lawyer we checked told us we will need three years of tax return.however they did not know whether or not his military status would effect it

ONE Year is sufficient for either the visa or the AOS (unless some specific consulate requirement says other wise) For the AOS you attach the most recent year's tax return and give a statement of gross income reported for the previous 2 years (currently that would be, if filed today 2009, 2008, 2007) and they have the option to request full copies.

Your fiance can also file his 2007 taxes now. He can download the forms. (google the forms 1040/2007) If he owes no tax there is no penalty for filing late.

That he is active duty military does not excuse his need to file taxes.

thank you,i just thought it might somehow effect it ,since it effects poverty guidelines.

and also how does filing for years before work?like say he starts filing for 07 from...next month,will it take a year like normal taxing?and also would it be a problem if our embassy or AOS asks for 07 copy before the year is up?

( i dk if i managed to word it out right,im sorry if i havent)

It might be that you do not get to have your interview appointment at the consulate after the first of the year. So, he could file early in January his taxes and that way he could have the 3 most recent years of income tax returns: 2010, 2009, and 2008 (thereby conveniently leaving out 2007). I agree with VJ member in that being in the military does not excuse him of not filing taxes...

Best wishes!

So long as he has his W2s or wage slips or 1099s or whatever, he can file his taxes for 2007 tomorrow. Immediately, he will be completed. When you "file" taxes you do so after the year has ended. Then it is worked out if you paid too much or too little tax over the year, and then you must either pay extra or you get a refund.

What? He can download 2007 forms tonight, fill them out and mail them Monday morning. Taxes filed. Make a copy before he sends them. Done. In a few weeks he can request a transcript if he prefers.
