2007 Tax Transcripts

[Roy99 0]

I sent for 2007 tax transcript today. Do I have to get 2005 and 2006 transcripts too? I would have to send to another state to recieve it because I live in another state the prior years and I do not know if they will come in around the same time. Is it alright to send 2007 transcript with 2005 & 2006 return copies with w-2?

What did the local consulate aske for you to submit? Every consulate is different.

Our consualte asked for copies of taxes paid during the last 2 years Forms 1042 and W-2

You should send exactly what they asked for.

You do not need state copies - just the IRS copies. And you can zerox them and send them if you have a copy from the previous years in your files and yes you should include copies of W-2s also. Good Luck

It has been reported that 2007 transcripts are not available until June... Don't know the accuracy of the statement

True,

I will only be able to show Tax Returns fro 2007, that is all I can do and hopefully it will be understandable.

The HCMC Consulate requires the current year tax return or tax transcripts according to Thi's Packet 3. I submitted one original and one copy of my tax transcripts for Thi's interview because HCMC Consulate prefers tax transcripts over returns. The instructions for the I-134 states there should be two copies of all evidence submited.

Here's where things interesting...... I have both a copy of Thi's Packet three and an older one uploaded by another VJ a few months ago. They are different. They both start by stating the Affidavit of Support should include a statement of the status of their citizenship (US citizenship or Permanent Legal Alien).

Then the older one states "To substantiate the information regarding income and resources the sponsor should attach two or more of the following items to the affidavit:

1. Copies of his or her's current tax return......

2. Statement from their employer......

3. Statement from a bank officer......

4. Any other evidence.......

The one Thi got states "To substantiate the information regarding income and resources the sponsor should attach an IRS complete tax transcript for the most recent tax year.

Additional materials may be also attached, including

1. Copies of his or her's current tax return......

2. Statement from their employer......

3. Statement from a bank officer......

4. Any other evidence......."

Then the two letters agree again.

Now to confuse us more, the instructions for the I-134 further states: "The sponsor must submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as approipate:

A. Statement from a bank officer....

B. Statement of your employer........

C. If self employed ...

D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of records owner(s).

Just to be safe, I got letters from my banks, made a statement stating I'm self employed with the required information and since I am self employed I submitted my business license. I also included my tax return for the same year with all schedules. I submitted all as 1 original and 1 copy.
