There is no such thing as "filing for 5 years based on marriage".

If you are applying for naturalization based on the 5-year rule then your marriage (or lack thereof) is irrelevant.

If you are applying for naturalization based on your marriage to a US citizen, the requirements are based on a 3-year period, and yes, one of the things you need to include with your application is evidence of having filed your taxes for the past 3 years.

In addition to my above post, I would point out that you do not need to submit tax stuff when applying for naturalization based on 5 years of residence. Review http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/article/attachments.pdf for what you need to attach to your application.

If you have no special circumstances to your case, all you need for a "5-year" application is a completed form N-400, a check for the fee, front and back copies of your green card, and two passport-size photos. Again, your marriage has no relevance here as you are applying on your own. You could be divorced/widowed and still single or thrice remarried for all they care.

There's no such thing.

There's a thing on 3 years based on marriage.

Yes I've read it. Thank you so much.

Good luck to you! As you will see, the process for applying under the 5-year rule is extremely easy.

Looks like all you need is the form and divorce decree correct? Yeah I can't wait to apply . Thank you

[Shub 78]

The form, the fee, a front and back copy of your green card, and two passport pictures. And yes, if you were married before, a copy of your divorce decree.

Please review the checklist at http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/article/attachments.pdf

I can answer your questions but as I do not know all the circumstances surrounding your particular case, and as I am not clairvoyant, I cannot tell you with 100% certainty what you should or should not provide to USCIS as part of your application packet.

Applicants for naturalization based on 5 years of residence do not need to submit tax-related documents unless they left the USA for a trip lasting more than 6 months. So with the information currently at my disposal regarding your case, no, you do not need to submit tax-related document. But you should review the above checklist carefully and thoroughly to make sure you have everything you need.
