Tax Transcript or 1040 EZ or Both.

[KP & SP 9]

Hello Everyone,

At the NVC stage, do we need to submit the IRS transcript for the previous tax returns or 1040 EZ (I always file my taxes on my own so i have 1040 EZ dating back to 2002) or both.

Also, I recently filed my 2012 tax returns, IRS received it but is still under processing so at the NVC stage and if my taxes for 2012 aren't completed by IRS how should i go about submitting the transcript; i would still have the 1040 EZ for the same tax return.

Thanks,

For NVC (and most embassies), the tax transcript is much preferred over the tax returns. Remember, if you don't submit tax transcripts, then you need to include the ENTIRE tax return, not just the 1040. You also need the W2s, 1099s, schedules, worksheets, etc. Everything that was sent to the IRS needs to be sent to NVC. This can end up being 20+ pages long, which is why the tax transcript is preferred as those are typically 2-4 pages long. Plus, it's proof that you actually filed the taxes. Copies of tax returns don't really prove anything except that you filled the form out.

So, I'd suggest getting the last 3 years of tax transcripts requested from the IRS site. They're completely free and typically arrive within a week or two.

If you can send the AOS package before April 15th (this year's tax deadline), then 2012 tax information won't be needed at NVC. This will give you time to get the 2012 tax transcript before the interview, which will be after the tax deadline.
