Tax Returns Question

[fewfwfee 0]

When I send him this year's (2009) tax return, should I only send a photocopy of my W2 or the actual W2? Thank you in advance.

Also - I have only worked 2 years & I see most people saying to send 3 years worth. Should I get evidence from the IRS that I did NOT file taxes in 2007?

Hey guys, the thread I was depending on for an answer to my question kind of dwindled and died, so I thought I'd start afresh because the thread itself was quite old so I thought it may get overlooked. Here's a link to the old thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;#entry3614935 -- I was simply looking to get an answer to the above quoted question.

Thank you for all and any help.

For the Visa interview....

Send photocopies of the w-2s attached to last years tax return. There really is not a need to attach the 2008 return unless you just want to or you think it benefits you somehow.

For the AOS you WILL need to make a statement of earnings (gross income) from 2007 OR submit an explanation of why you did not file a return for that year. "I was a student" is NOT a valid reason to not file a tax return, neither was "I was out of the country" An explanation must include the reason (citing the tax code) that you were exempt. You will not need this for the consulate interview.

I wasn't employed & my parents claimed me. Is this a legitimate reason?
