Urgent! 221g for Signed Letter of Explanation and Legal Basis for Not Filing ITR

[apple21 953]

Need your help ASAP.

I'm posting this for my friend.

The petitioner has been an LPR for 4 years and 4 months now. She filed F2A for her husband in the Philippines. Husband was interviewed at the Embassy today.

He got 221g for Signed Letter of Explanation and Legal Basis for Not Filing ITR.

Wife (petitioner) never worked in the US because their child has special needs and requires 100% of her care and attention. They have a joint sponsor.

What do they have to write in that letter and what legal basis can they use as reference? Should the letter be notarized?

Thanks in advance.

Did she include the publications from IRS showing exemptions like who only need to file ITR?

Hi apple21,

I am attaching signed letter to my i864 that explains why I didn't file taxes. Something like this:

A short letter from the USC explaining the lack of returns should be enough, with a reason. Here is what my husband wrote- this was accepted no problem:

To Whom It May Concern:
I am Mr Penguin, Penguin's husband and petitioning sponsor. I did not file an income tax return for the years 2005, 2006 or 2007 because I have not worked during my 3 year residence within the Republic of Ireland. Once I came to Ireland, I was unable to find work and so used savings; I was maintained by my wife upon her income and savings. Since I made no income for these years of any type, I was not required to file an income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service.
Sincerely, Mr Penguin.

Maybe this is what they are looking for.

No.

. I wa unemployed for almost 3 yrs. so i was exempted for filling ITR due to low income. What i did i went to Internal Revenue website and printed the publications showing who are exempted from filling. Then i included them on the requirements for Affidavit of support.
