Tax Transcript Question

[pigtails86 0]

Hey guys,

I have a question about some of my confusion on the I-134. Do I need to submit Tax returns and/or Tax transcripts for the past couple of years no matter what? The job I am in now, where I make enough money to support us, would NOT be reflected in the past 2 years tax returns. Does this matter or are they simply just required so I just need to send them anyway?

Any info would be GREATLY appreciated!

Follow your consulate's instructions. Most want to see your previous year's tax return or transcript (i.e., the most recently filed - 2008 for most people).

Current income is most important. As long as your current income is sufficient (i.e., comfortably over the guidelines, not just scraping by) and well-documented (several months of pay stubs, and an employment verification letter if you can get one), you should be fine.

Only one year is required, but I forwarded two, just in case. I didn’t get the transcripts but the actual original copies of my tax returns with copies of my W2s. Besides those documents [even though I read in other topics is not required if you are above the poverty line] I obtained bank letters and employment verification with salary report. I may be a little paranoid and over doing it but I rather my fiancée to have more.
