N-400 & Tax

[otso88 0]

during the citizenship interview, do they look for state and federal tax? or just the irs / federal tax transcript will do without the state? ty

Some states do not have income tax, which means a lot of people won't be able to provide state tax return documents which in turn means Federal tax transcripts are fine. That's all I sent with my N-400.

If applying for US Citizenship in 3 years because of a bonafide ongoing marriage they are looking for joint tax returns [transcripts] helping to prove such. They don't care how much you made. Just taht you filed together.

Wouldn't hurt to file state also.

An overkill? Depends on that idiot sitting on the other side of the desk, provided both for her for the last three years, she only wanted the federal for the last three years, but also wanted to see at least one utility bill with both our names on it. Isn't that also crazy? Putting more weight on a stupid utility bill than state income taxes.

Little gods we call them, can even be a 22 year cop that feels at a stop sign, should park there 24 hours before taking off, two seconds isn't long enough for him. Impossible to believe the huge number of a$$holes we have running our government.

I think it's like talking to someone at a call center Nick. They have a script in front of them or archaic guidelines and do not stray from that, no mattter how ridiculous. We people like that you cannot ask them to think outside of the box and try something new or different or even something that makes more sense as they'll ask you what box you're referring to? They see no box? Box? Huh? You just have to work with them as best as you can. When my IO asks for a utility bill, they will get plenty of choice, simple as that.

We just sent copies of our returns (downloaded and printed from Turbotax) with my wife's N-400. They weren't signed and we didn't include the W-2s. We brought transcripts to the interview but the officer was happy with what we originally sent.
