Tax return for 2008 - 1099 needed or just W2?

[maisflocon 0]

Hi all, I am submitting my tax return for 2008 (for I-864), some people suggested that I submit supporting documents such as W2s or 1099. I have my own company so I don't have any W2s, and even my 1099s are not complete. Can I just send in my tax return or do I need to mail in all my 1099s as well? Do the tax returns have to be signed?

Thanks.

Get your tax transcripts, that way you cover all the bases.

If your self employed, you would just have the tax returns you sent if you don't use the transcripts.

You can call the IRS and they can fax them to you within 20 mins or so. (it's free)

I requested the transcripts on April 8th but haven't recieved them yet- whats the number to call to speak to an operator so I can request them to fax it to me?!!?!

The transcripts are not available for returns we just filed a few weeks ago (i.e. tax return 2008), are they?

The answer is absolutely yes. If you end up submitting the actual tax return you must also submit the slips (including any 1099s)

This is clearly stated in the instructions for the I-864

I filed on March, requested transcripts, for years 2006-2008, on April 13. Received the transcripts on April 22. So they should be available for you.

IRS TAX TIP 2009-13

There are two easy and convenient options for obtaining free copies of your federal tax return information — tax return transcripts and tax account transcripts — by phone or by mail.

A tax return transcript shows most line items from the tax return (Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) as it was originally filed, including any accompanying forms and schedules. It does not reflect any changes you, your representative or the IRS made after the return was filed. In many cases, a return transcript will meet the requirements of lending institutions such as those offering mortgages and student loans. You should receive your tax return transcript within 10 working days from the time the IRS receives your request.

A tax account transcript shows any later adjustments either you or the IRS made after the tax return was filed. This transcript shows basic data, including marital status, type of return filed, adjusted gross income and taxable income. The IRS does not charge a fee for transcripts, which are available for the current and past three years. Allow 30 calendar days for delivery of a tax account transcript.

To request either transcript:

Phone: Call 800-829-1040 and follow the prompts in the recorded message.

It take me 7 - 10 business days. Call them again to double check.

It took them a month to send ours via snail mail to Florida. I'm going to assume that the IRS was pretty busy in April, so it might take them a little longer to get things out.
