I 864

[mrQ 0]

When filing this years tax return, I put (single) as my status.My wife doesn't have a social, and at the time, we thought it was required to file jointly.Only to find out too late that we could have applied for an ITIN.I am going to amend it,but IRS takes 8-12 wks to amend. Questions are, should I go ahead and send the one I have(single) with the preceding years,or send the preceding two years and W-2 with pay stubs in place of the (single) one, with an explanation as to why I didnt send in this years?

I'd rather not wait two more months to start the process. Please help. Thanks

There is a big thread on this however as you read the comments most of them only tel you o recuest the ITN number .

Call the IRS they may tell you different .

I end uo filling singel and acually came up as head of household because i have a kid w my wife and he does have a ss#

The trick was they told me i can claim him however as he doesnt leave w. me as he is w mom in colombia i had to put him as a qualify relative.

The difference of Nrry vs single is around 450 dollars they said that on the IRS wend they talk to me.

WONT AFFECT nothing on your petition .

ADvice call IRS

you are NOT single. You are MARRIED filing separately. You are not allowed to file single when you are married. You need to amend your tax return.

What documentation/ evidence of the amendment do you have? Assuming there's a form you need to fill in, file your AOS paperwork along with your amended 2010 return and the form/ documentation relating to this amendment. You'll also need to file a W-7 requesting an ITIN and this is where the amended return needs to start. They issue the ITIN and then process your return. Include the priority/ express mail receipt and delivery confirmation notice with the I-864.

In all likelihood, you'll get an RFE for an IRS transcript proving you did amend it, or you'll be asked for it at interview. Best case scenario, the amendment paperwork will be enough for them to proceed but I think they often like to see you're not just trying to pull a fast one and want to see the IRS really did process the amendment.

In usual cases, they don't need 3 years' returns, just the most recent one. In your case, I'd send them to err on the safe side.

All of you who replied, thanks.I know I need to amend it. The point of the question is, it takes 8-12 weeks to amend it. I dont want to wait till its amended, to start the AOS process. So can i send 08 and 09 tax transcripts with pay stubs for '10?

You have to send tax returns for the most recent tax year. That will be 2009. 2010 is not due until April 18th 2011.

We sent the 2009 Tax return with 6 pay periods. When we interview we will have the 2010 tax return with a further 6 pay periods if they need.
