Tax Return Transcript - How recent does it need to be?

[heatherandtezz 0]

Hi,

My parent's are co-sponsoring and haven't filed their taxes for this year yet. (They paid to have the deadline extended.) I'm having my Mom request a tax return transcript online. However, the most recent tax transcript on file would be for the year 2011. Just wondering if this is okay or would pose any problems?

Thanks!

Edit: Just adding in case anyone knows...does anything I send for the interview have to be notarized?

The current past 3 years. 2012, 2011,2010. Subsequently if you were unemployed of of those years, you can use 2009 as well to replace the missing year. That is what I did, we had no issues.

Good luck

Thanks for replying. Do you think it would be okay if 2012 is missing though? (it hasn't been filed yet) We would only have 2011, 2010 and 2009.

This is pretty simple. You cant submit what hasn't been filed so they would just submit what they have. If for some reason the most current year was requested they would have to do what they need to do to comply at that time. I suggest submitting what they have along with a simple statement about why they don't submit the most recent year.

Ask your sponsors if they can provide you with various evidence of employment for the year 2012.

Like a recent pay statement, or a statement from your employer showing beginning date of employment, type of work performed, and salary or wages paid... you know, stuff like that.

That might work in addition to the Tax documents of the previous years

Everything seems pretty spot on. I'd say that if they file before you have the interview, have them make copies of it and send it, otherwise it wouldn't hurt to bring a copy of the extension paperwork just in case they ask where 2012 is. Also, to reiterate what has been said, since there is no 2012 tax return, it would help to bring some recent current paystubs or proof of current income so they don't suspect the income has ceased.

London will approve you without any tax records if you bring other convincing proof. An employer letter is good. Recent paystubs are good. They need to know CURRENT income and a 2011 tax return is a bit dated for that.

When it is time to file for Adjustment Of Status, their 2012 tax return is a non-negotiable requirement with the I-864. How long is it going to take them to do their taxes?

So should I just not bother with the tax return transcripts at all? or should i just send them anyway? My mom has her employer letter and pay stubs as well btw. I'll have to ask when their deadline is to file those taxes...soon hopefully...

Send anything you like, but I don't think 2009-2011 tax will be accepted more readily than a current employer letter. She could have lost her job in 2011 and not worked since. Right?

If the transcripts have not been ordered, they can also be used for AOS and they don't expire so do order.

Tax returns were due April 15 as were any taxes due. An extension for an individual return is 6 months. Some people file years late, but penalties and interest accrue since April 15 if you owed anything.

Notarization for London--

If a British child is being taken from the UK, they like a notarized permission from the other parent or something witnessed by a solicitor.

If the British beneficiary does not complete their visa process before the I-129F Petition expires (four months after NOA2) then the embassy states in the K1 instruction letter that a new notarized letter of intent from the US petitioner is required to extend the petition.

Thanks! Your replies are always really helpful and you're very informative. They probably won't really get looked at but I think I may just send them anyways, perhaps with a note from my parents or any documentation on why 2012 is missing. She has an employer letter dated the 18th of June 2012 and pay stubs, so that can also serve as proof that she's been employed.

So that, an employer letter and pay stubs should be enough evidence..do you think?

People get approved with only an employer letter in London. They take a wad of stuff and are handed most of it back. So yes, I think it will be fine.
