I-864 question

[JeniLovesMarwan 0]

Hi all, I have a question I know when I send the I-864 I must also include tax returns. I am confused about this, some things I have read said just send 1 year of tax returns and other things I have read said send 3 years of tax returns also I have read that you must send employee letter and pay stubs along with the tax returns and then other things I have read said just send 3 years of tax returns, as long as you send 3 years of tax returns and you make enough money for your household you do not need to send employee letter or pay stubs. So I am very confused as to what I should send with the I-864 can anyone help me out with this? Thank you

From the I-864 instructions:

25. Federal Income Tax Information

You must provide either an IRS transcript or a photo copy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year. If you believe additional returns may help you to establish your ability to maintain sufficient income, you may submit transcripts or photo copies of your Federal individual income tax returns for the three most recent years.

If you provide a photocopy of your tax return(s), you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your return(s). Do not include copies of these Forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your return(s) rather than a photocopy.

The following items must be submitted with Form I-864:

For ALL sponsors:

A copy of your individual Federal income tax return, including W-2s for the most recent tax year, or a statement and/or evidence describing why you were not required to file. Also include a copy of each and every Form 1099, Schedule, and any other evidence of reported income. You may submit this information for the most recent three tax years , pay stub(s) from the most recent six months, and/or a letter from your employer if you believe any of these items will help you qualify.

So, yes the past years is a must for tax returns. The last 3 is only if you believe they will help you qualify, also the employer letter and pay stubs are if you believe they will help you qualify or show consistent ability to earn above the required limits.

Good Luck
