I-864 tax-current year papers only then two amounts ?

[Captain Oates 911]

on the form I-864 section 25 in the guide it says :

'You must provide either an IRS transcript or a photocopyfrom your own records of your Federal individual income taxreturn for the most recent tax year. If you believe additional returns may help you to establish your ability to maintainsufficient income, you may submit transcripts or photocopiesof your Federal individual income tax returns for the threemost recent years.'

and later:

'If you provide a photocopy of your tax return(s), you must include a copy of each and every FormW-2 and Form 1099that relates to your return(s). Do not include copies of these Forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your return(s) rather than a photocopy.'

Federal income tax return information.

I have filed a Federal tax return for each of the three most recent tax years. I haveattached the required photocopy or transcript of my Federal tax return for only themost recent tax year.

(Optional) I have attached photocopies or transcripts of my Federal tax returns for mysecond and third most recent tax years.

Tax Year

$

(most recent)

My total income (adjusted gross income on IRS Form 1040EZ) as reported on myFederal tax returns for the most recent three years was:

$

(2nd most recent)

All very confusing !

WE feel ok for income and assets and so If we just enclose a full copy of 2006 tax return with FormW-2 and Form 1099 would that do ?

Then just put an amount only with no back up for the previous 2 years ?

That is what it seems to be saying but the visa journey guide says give em full copies of everything for three years..

the requirement is that you either list your income for 3 years and send the most recent tax form or if you feel it will help strengthen your case , send 3 years.

ah I think I get it - so if you had really poor earnings last year but good ones before that you would send all three years papers- otherwise just send the current year and then just enter dollar amounts for the previous 2 years with no paperwork backup ?

ok thanks alan

The way I understand it is that current earnings are what will carry the most weight and showing past earnings help to show consistency and stability. I guess the assumption is that if you're currently making xxx dollars, you will continue at that same rate or better. So really the choice is yours based on your particular situation, they simply have laid out your options for making your case. I don't think I would choose to show evidence that would not prove my stability as a sponsor.

Is that your hedgehog? We have one too ....his name is Pickle.
