NVC Filers - February 2012

[foobaz123 39]

Rujby,

What do you mean by it will delay the process?

I just amended it at the same Tax service place and got it in less than 15 min and so i will send the updated 1040X transcript to NVC when i get to NVC.

I know i will get returns a little late but at least i'll have an Amended 1040X Transcript which will show Married Filing Jointly.

I don't understand what delay you are talking about.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This

It would be better to amend, and delay the refund, so you can show the VO that the original "Single" filing was a mistake.

Did the return increased, decreased?

I am getting beyond sick of NVC blowing me off with "They're still converting your case to EP sir, and until they're done we won't bother to do anything else."

I'd bet cash money that nothing is in fact being done and our case has actually been dropped into a bucket that must timeout before any forward progress.

Increased considerably

Did the return increased, decreased?

The increase would be substantial. Double the amount is possible, though a 75% increase is also likely.

[VisaJourney2011 14]

A lot more than that

What form will she need to fill to amend the tax, what are the step to start? please inform me. Thank you so much for your help

[VisaJourney2011 14]

1) 1040X (this is the Amend for your 1040 that she filed) (Signed & Dated by the Paid preparer, NRA You, & USC your wife)

2) Form W-7 (this is requesting ITIN# for you. You are a NRA (Non Resident Alien) (Signed & Dated by NRA you)

3) A Declaration letter stating that you both declare you the NRA to be treated as US Taxpayer for the year 2011. (Signed & Dated by both USC your wife and NRA you). Under SS/ITIN# for you NRA: write applied for

4) A Notorised copy of your Passport (The biographic page).

5) also maybe i'll send a color copy of our Marriage Certificate? i don't know

Once your USC wife gets these from you by mail, she will mail to below address as instructed in the W-7 instruction guide.

ITIN Operation

P.O. Box 149342

Austin, TX 78714-9342

Once they assign ITIN# for you, i was told they will forward the packet to below address as instructed in the 1040X instruction guide.

Department of the Treasury

Internal Revenue Service Center

Fresno, CA 93888-0422

note: #1, #2, and #3 can be emailed to you in pdf format, so you can sign and mail to your wife.

Before mailing all to your USC wife, make some copies for yourself!

In anycase, Please take these steps with a grain of salt as this is first time for me and I'm not 100% sure but from what VJ members have said, this seems to be the correct steps.

I'm emailing all these tonight to NRA spouse.

LATER ON....your wife will get your ITIN#. Only then she will file Amended State tax.

Until then, when your wife gets the previous returns from 1040 and state. I would not cash or deposit them because she will get updated returns so i'm not sure if IRS will ask the previous money back or not. I will just keep it in a folder.

thank you, so i do not have to wait for the ITIN number to send the 1040X to NVC? all these mailing will take time

[foobaz123 39]

Damn.. Damn.. Damn...

NVC is still saying that they're "converting my case to EP and it will be a few more days". They even told my congressman's immigration guy that.

Just how in the hell can it take two - three weeks to "convert to EP" when most EP filers are completely bloody done with NVC in around that amount of time. Why did I have to send that damned email!

[VisaJourney2011 14]

I don't think so.

I think NVC just asks for Tax Transcript and 1040X is the Tax Transcript. It will show you are NRA (non resident alien) but the I think the bottom line is that this is a 2011 Tax Transcript showing you guys filed "Married Filing Jointly".

Your USC wife SS# is present on the 1040X so I don't see any reason why NVC will want to see your IRS Tax ITIN#.

Somebody correct me if i'm mistaken.

As to adding you to her account, you cannot do that until you're here and have an SSN. I would have added my wife already if I could.

I was able to add my husband to my bank account, a credit union. I had emailed my bank first asking for this, I was told to get a notarized copy of his ID, to sign the paperwork and go to the local branch to add him. I did, at the branch they didn't want to it, but I showed them the email I got from the headquarters and I was able to add him last week.

Huh... interesting... I'll bring this up with my bank again and see what they say. I'd love to be able to add her.

she told me that when somebody file married jointly the money decreased. As proof she has her sister's case. do you agree? if she file now married jointly will she have to refund some of the money. Her tax return was 8.000 dollars
