Affidavit I-134

[Ana&D 0]

We are a bit confused as to what supporting information should be submitted to the embassy along with I-134. My fiance (the petitioner) is a business owner. His business are classifed as S-corporations and he doesn't get W2. There was also something weird with his personal tax returns (like he submits check to IRS based on amount of corporate money used for personal benefit). So do we do the corporate tax returns? Basically, what has to go with I-134 for business owners??? Any input will be greatly appreciated!

He should send copies of the last three years personal tax returns. In addition to corporate return each person must file a personal return. The S Corp is a common form of business structure. It can be a good tax saving strategy. Also download the instructions for the I-130 from the USCIS website.

Sorry I'm so out of it here! Is it supposed to be personal tax transcripts or corporate tax transcripts? And how long does it take to get those? Thank you so much!

UI think he can get them faxed to him instantly when he calls IRS. Took about 4 days snail mail to me and they said it would take 2 weeks.

He does not get a W-2 (though he should draw a salary of some sort but if I can't give tax advice for free) but he does get a (believe it or not) a Schedule K-1. The K-1 reports the result of his share of the corporate results. This is reported on Schedule E of the Form 1040

Hi EXCELLENT question i was in exactly the same situation, and our interview is Thursday 7/17/08. This is what i did. I-134, personal AND business tax returns with ALL schedules (when he takes money out this is called a K-1 distribution) it is listed in , i believe the "schedule C" on his corporate tax return, and will transfer over to his personal tax return. I included tax transcripts, However, i contacted the LOCAl I.R.S. office to get these, i know someone there, and they came in 3 days. I Got a letter from the bank manager, it had info on both my accounts, business and personal, it had date account opened, balance, average daily balance and average monthly deposit amounts. also at the time i was on an extension, however, we finished the 2007 return but i also included a copy of the extension because 2007 was not on the transcript.

Other tips: 1 My accountant said if you call the I.R.S. you can have the transcripts faxed to you, HOWEVER, be prepared to be on hold at least 45 minutes and be able to provide key information. he said also to tell them EXACTLY why you need them..."an immigration, or consular issue" it is the telephone number that ends in "1040" i don't have the number here now.

2. be sure corporate AND personal contain ALL schedules. The consular officer wants and knows how to, read these, they have dealt with self employed people before!!

3. it could not hurt to include the "articles of incorporation" for your state. our attorney said do not bother but i slipped them in there anyway.

4. you could also include a photocopy of one of the "tax coupons" you receive, or a w-9 if he does any independent contracting, but these 2 things are "Overkill" i think.

Good luck!!!
