"Certfied" Copies of Tax Returns for AOS/864

[MrsBruce5 0]

Hi Everyone,

I am happy to report that things are sailing along for us. Graham got his DS-3032, and e-mailed it back to them. I sent them a copy as well of his DS-3032 via post after he scanned it and e-mailed it to me.

I also received my AOS bill, which was paid, and sent back the same day which I received it.

Now, here's my query/dilemma...

Do they want simply copies, or certifed copies? What is meant by "certified" and how would one go about getting one?

I use a CPA to prepare mine, and can probably ask him to obtain them if that is what they need.

However, last year I had my own practice ( I am a massage therapist) and unfortunately, the business was just pitiful-leaving me with very little income on my 1099 for 2005.

I have since closed it and began to contract my work out-and it is MUCH more lucrative now. I contract for only one office now, and this year my speculated income is well above the guidelines. The gentleman who owns the office is writing a letter on my behalf stating what my income will be for 2006.

Anyway...

Because of my pathetic income for 2005, my wonderful sister (who lives in the lower level of the house that I own) will be our joint sponsor, and she does not usually have her taxes prepared professionally. She does them herself, as she is a bookeeeper. How would she go about obtaining a "certfied" copy ??

Any information would be much appreciated. I wish you all a beautiful Saturday !

Thanks,

-Rose

I just made copies of the copies my accountant gives me. If you do you own taxes then make copies otherwise you will need to get the IRS transcripts

I've always ordered the free transcripts from the IRS. My most recent request arrived within a week.

You can get your tax transcripts (Tax summaries) from IRS via fax. Call ‘em on 1-800-829-1040.

Rose,

You are the one who has introduced the word "certified" - what do you mean by it?

Hi Yod,

When I used the word "certified", I was referring to copies that are archived within the IRS-(assuming that 2005's were submitted).

I thought I saw that somewhere-but in all honesty, I have been researching myself into confusion. I am trying to have everything ready ahead of time, so I can post things out the same day or the next day at the latest.
