how to file tax

[azoupime 1]

Hello,

My husabnd left the house last week, I talked to him yesterday about filing taxes for this year ( he did have a job for over a year now, but he does some Dj job on week-end and for my self I am a self-employee working as a hair stylist and braider). He told me he did that last month using his cousin adress.

My question is do I need to show is tax return if I apply for ROC with waiver or does my only ok?

Thanks

If not divorced, you may check "married but filing separately" for your tax return. ROC don't require including tax returns with your evidence, but it's good to include it.

Whether you finally file a Joint 751 or a Waiver 751, its the evidence of good faith that counts. Which means, anything and everything that has both your names. Some things that has ONLY your name is useless. Having "married but filing separate" on the tax return does not prove anything but separation.

Having "married but filing separate" on the tax return does not prove anything but separation.

What? Sometimes it is financially beneficial to do that and it says nothing about the state of the marriage.

The state of the marriage isn't relevant with the tax return. Filing married but separately gives the tax payer a better break than filing single but not as good as filing married and joint normally. There are always exceptions so you need to try multiple filing options.

The 751 waiver approval is based on Good Faith and NOT Financial Benefits from Tax Forms. For waivers, the dates of separation are carefully looked at and tax forms reveal that under Status of Filing. Could raise eyebrows and questions.

I have the same issue,my husband wanted to file tax return jointly for the benefit. So do you mean if we file married jointly for the tax return but actually we are seperate unofficially, this would lead to the adjudicator's suspecting about the good faith of the marriage when comes to ROC?

Are you separated from your husband?

Are you separated from your husband?

If your separated then file married but filing separate.

sh18 is correct. AS long as you check Married filing jointly or married filing separate and both returns have the same address then you should be fine. Although tax returns are not "required" but many people sent in their evidence without them and got a RFE. It is very highly recommended to mail either a copy of all pages of your tax returns or transcripts that can be obtained for free.

Now, you need to select one of the above mentioned choices unless you file for divorce and it is finalized. Without a divorce decree, you will be providing the IRS false information if you select Single - since you are married.

In this case though, since the OP's husband is filing from a different address there would be no benefit to include these transcripts as evidence for a joint ROC.

Azoupime, if you end up filing a waiver (after divorce), Your ex husbands transcript would not be necessary and he may not be willing to give it to you anyway.

thank you for all of your answers...I will keep you all posted about my outcome.

I agree with Dakine and v333k. In your case, don't include any tax transcripts. It's not a requirement and may people have been approved without them. People tend to take the examples given in i-751's instructions as "requirements". Carefully read it and you'll notice they're only suggestions.

For waiver applicants including "married filing separate" tax return with your package proves to do more harm than good. You have to look thru the eyes of the USCIS officer, not the IRS.

Waivers are scrutinized for separation dates all the time. Do not submit anything that does not include your names at the same address. Do not submit something that goes in the IOs head.

Approvals come from the totality of evidence, not bits and pieces.
