Tax transcripts were joint with ex

[Timerin 0]

My husband and I are in the process of pulling together the paperwork to file our I-130 (yay), but I have a question about the affidavit of support requirement for 3 previous years of tax transcripts.

Up until this year, I was married to someone other than my current husband - it was a bad marriage that I finally managed to escape and end up with my true love instead (we had known eachother for several years). Consequently, my last 3 years of taxes were all filed joint with previous spouse (08 & 09 were married filing jointly, 10 was married filing seperate). In addition, I was in school for my nursing degree through much of 09 and 10, and thus my income was fairly low (under $10k) however, now that I am practicing in my field, I easily clear $60k annually.

My questions are these:

Is there anything I need to file in addition to the tax transcripts and the tax account information that I rec'd from the IRS due to them showing both ex and my incomes? Is there anything I can provide as to proof of my current solvent status beyond a letter from my employer and a handful of paystubs?

And help/hope you can provide is appreciated.

Thanks!

You can always amend your past taxes. The form is 1040-X then a year. May want to consult a CPA on how this affects your taxes.

for the k-1 pay stubs and letter of employment from the employer is proof enough, so i would assume the same is true for the AoS, i did read somewhere they only really need 2 bits of proof not sure of the validity on that though

Pay stubs, letter of employment and bank statements should do it.

Pay stubs, letter of employment and bank statements should do it.

can you use W2s and pay stubs with an i864? or do you need tax returns too?

Instructions specifically say tax returns or transcripts, and then you can use pay stubs, etc as additional evidence. They also say if you did not file, then to provide an explanation why.

For sure a tax return or a transcript is required. I recommend sending last 3 tax transcripts free of charge. Also last 2 pay checks and a letter of employement.
