Embassy requesting income tax after interview

[Editab 1]

hi everyone,

I went to the visa interview today and we were told that my husbands visa would be approved only if I provided last years tax return even if i didnt work..... My question is can I send them a signed copy of a 1040 tax return even though it has not been proccessed in the USA yet or do I have to wait for the IRS to process it in the USA and then send it to the embassy. PLEASE HELP anyone ...................

Did you actually submit a federal tax return for 2013? If so the embassy wants to have a copy. Whether the IRS processed the return or not is immaterial. Once the IRS processes the return they post a tax transcript on their website. But you do not have to wait for the tax transcript. You can give the embassy a copy of your complete return with all the attachments.

If you did not actually submit a return (becaue you did not work or did not have taxable income) then you need to explain that to the embassy.

I was unemployed. She told me that I still needed to file taxed so that I could proove domicile in the usa. I am very confused and do not onow what to do she told me unless I mail them a copy of a tax return even if unemployed they are not going to issue my husband a visa... I also told her that I was unemployed last year and that s why I dodnt file taxes she aais unless I have it in writing from the government that I dont need to file taxes I am not exempt.... so according to you if I understood corectly I can file a tax return and mail it to the irs in the usa and paris even though it has not been processed with the irs yet?

I also dont think you need to have the transcript. However it's better to check with the embassy.

As you now know, by law you as a USC are required to file tax returns every year even though you're not working.

It's just a small delay in the process which I am sure you could have done without but stay strong, you'll soon be back on track.

Did they say a new interview will be needed or can you just send them the required docs?
