taxes again

[germangel 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering about something here. We just received the I-864 and my hubbie is my sponsor. He is a fulltime student and has therefore not filed a tax return for 2004/05. Now it says on the instructions that he needs to "attach a written explanation and a copy of the instructions from the Internal Revenue Service publication that shows [he wasn't] obliged to file"

Now what do they want, where can I find it and are tax transcripts also ok or does he need returns and W2?

Thanks

P.S. we have a joint sponsor...should I photocopy the release of federal tax data form and have him fill it out as well?

germangel,

So many people say this, "He is a fulltime student and has therefore not filed a tax return." Yet, being a student is not a valid reason for not filing a tax return.

"they" want exactly what they asked for - a valid reason under the tax law as to why a tax return was not filed. Start reading the instructions for Form 1040 and look for a reason that is applicable to your husband.

Actuall, your husband should know the answer off the top of his head if he has not been filing tax returns. (Or, he's in for a bit of a surprise.)

We got in figures out. We checked Form 1040 and he doesn't have income so his income apparently was below the required income to file a return.

No assets, no house, so that'll do.

Thank you for your responses though
