Some more questions...

[Wyld Blu 35]

Hi all,

I also posted this in another thread, but I am getting no responses..and I was hoping to get this part finished by this weekend...sooo...I am posting it here too.

Hope someone can answer my questions.

Last year I filed jointly with my now ex-husband. Do I have to present my full tax return, that also shows his income, or will my W-2 suffice?

Also, in regards to my current house value...can I go to a website like Zillow.com to get the current valuation? I know many real estate agents use that too. My ex and I still jointly own that too, until he buys me out, hopefully soon.

Last question...I think...for now...In my divorce, my ex gave me a few of his 401k's, (retirement savings). However, although the accounts are shown to be mine in the divorce papers, they are still in his name because it has been expensive to change them. He will cash them out to reinvest them in my name, but the fees and taxes will be A LOT. So, we have left it as it is. Right now, I need to let you know he and I are still good friends, so honestly I KNOW he isn't going to steal them away. He gave them of his own free will, and it was his idea!

Please, I am not asking for judgments on how things were done, just some answers if you have them.

Thanks!

Q1 - Your complete tax return and all supporting documents must be submitted or an IRS transcript. Only your portion of the joint income will be applied to your submission. Short answer: Yes, the full and complete return along with your W2.

Q2 - Re: home value - below quoted from the I-864 instructions -

You may include the net value of your home as an asset. The net value of the home is the appraised value of the home, minus the sum of any and all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, or other lien on the home. If you wish to include the net value of your home, this, you must include documentation demonstrating that you own it, a recent appraisal by a licensed appraiser, and evidence of the amount of any and all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, orother lien on the home.

Q3 - Regarding the 401K (also from the I-864 instructions):

Only assets that can be converted into cash within one year and without considerable hardship or financial loss to the owner may be included. The owner of the asset must include a description of the asset, proof of ownership, and the basis for the owner's claim of its net cash value.

Thank you SO much! I think I was looking in the wrong place for the answers which is why I posted here. I was looking for instructions on the I-134 form, and couldn't find what I needed.

So again, Thank you SOOOO much. This will be very helpful with this part of the process.

Following the I-864 instructions can often help to complete the I-134. It seems that it would be convenient to put the same info with the I-134.

Best of luck.
