I beleive the past 5 years are required - since you became a LPR.

if you apply based on the 5 years rule, there is no need to send in any tax returns with your application( Check the guide for Natz for the required Docs.) . However, the expectation is that you filed every year you were required to file a tax return after you became a LPR and you don't owe the IRS any back taxes,and in the event that you do, you need to make payment arrangements( i.e. installments plan) with the IRS prior to your interview or they will deny your application

My husband just had his naturalization interview just the other day..

Doesn't matter if applying on 5yr or 3yr rule...still send copies otherwise they will ask you in your yellow letter(the letter stating what to bring to your interview or what was missing) to bring them to the interview anyways. We filed with the last 5yr copies and brought or last 3yrs of tax transcripts to the interview. I know that they like the transcripts better than copies of your fileds forms. The transcripts tend to be easier for them to reference,to see that you pay your taxes!!Thats why they want them! Also during my husbands interview that was the only thing the officer asked extra for and he only wanted the last 3yr. transcripts. Luckily we had them with us!

Good luck with your naturalzation process...this one can actually be exciting and not stressfull!! Congrats!

I applied by the 5 year rule not based on marriage, I got my GC through my mom. I didn't send the 5 year taxes with the application, but I made copies for the last 5 years to take to the interview just in case. The officer didn't ask for them, but I had them just in case. It will depend on the officer if he/she want's to see them.

You don't need to send any tax returns with your application, as you have to state within the N-400 application on whether or not you EVER not have filed an income tax return since becoming a LPR. You should bring the past 5 years' tax returns to the interview, however, in case the I.O. wants to see them.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
