Tax returns for i864

[Derrrr 0]

If a person submits their own returns, does Immigration crosscheck it with the IRS?

Are you asking if they confirm the income amount? Or that the return was actually filed?

They ask for transcripts of you returns because they reflect the filed tax info.

It would be safe to assume they do. How often they check that, nobody but the NVC knows, but I'm sure they do it in some (if not all) cases and I'm sure it would be easy. I would assume that any returns that don't check out with the IRS would be a source of trouble during the visa process (and maybe the IRS audit process).

Hmm, the amount!

Hey - what's everyone eating for supper tonight?

I'm terribly sorry, I-864's are not part of the K-3 visa process.

*** not a K-3 visa topic, moving to NVC forum, the appropriate place to ask questions about forms gathered up at NVC ***

You do not just supply the tax return. You supply all the supporting documents (w2, 1099, etc). So you supply the proof of income being claimed.

Correct in most cases but many self employed folks have neither W2 or 1099 forms to document their claimed income. Consular officers tend to believe that if you were willing to pay tax on an amount, you earned it. This is the kind of question that generally comes from somebody that plans to provide a false tax return in support of an affidavit of support. I hope this isn't another one of those.

Hence the "etc" included in the list of supporting docs. If the person did not include the required information initially, they would eventually submit it / figure it out after an RFE or two.
