Interview irs forms

[carla1 4]

Thank you in advance for the replies.

Like most here stuck in VSC limbo hell with a K1 visa I am feeling very sad, lonely and desperate over the holidays. If we ever get our NOA2 (And at this point if feels like IF) we definately don't want any stupid errors, so my question is:

My understanding is that for the interview at the embassy my fiancee will have to show the last 3 years of my tax returns. I looked on the irs website and they are charging $57 for each return and a wait of up to 2 months for receipt. I will pay IRS and go through the pain if it is absolutely necessary... however.... I generally file using turbotax and consequently have all my tax returns since 2004. I am interested in hearing from those that have gone through the interview and want to know if there is some difference between a tax copy received from the irs and what I have easily available. We will be interviewing in Santiago Chile.

You can use your own copies, or apply to the IRS for the tax transcripts. These are free 'summaries' and are not copies of your actual returns. Some embassies prefer these, as they're confirmation from the IRS of what you actually filed.

Double check on your regional forum, since what is acceptable is often a quirk of the specific embassy, but you might (for the sake of easing weight of documentation!) find that your 2009 return copy with 2007 & 2008 transcripts is also acceptable.

Thr IRS will send you via fax or mail, transcript copies of your taxes for free. That is what is required at the interview. Turbo Tax info may not be accepted & shouldnt be used. If rejected there will be a denial until you send the correct submittal.

Call IRS or go on line again & you will find the method to obtain the transcripts. Ours came by mail in about 10 days.
