Citizenship and Personal Income Taxes

[Endurance 0]

I am currently working on my N-400 application based on 3 year rule. I requested our joint official tax transcripts for the last 3 years (2015, 2014 & 2013) but turns out IRS has no record of 2013 taxes anywhere in their systems. Also, they confirmed my account is in good standing and no amount owed on my side.

Now I really need to get this process moving, has anyone submitted only 2 years income tax transcripts for their N-400 processes without any issues?

You can still file 2013 taxes now. You didn't keep a copy? You should keep copies of your taxes, bookkeeping 101. Good luck.

Thanks for your insight Harpa Timsah!

Let me comb through my email, I think I have a soft copy it. I'm thinking of sending over the items that I have now and then include a notarized letter why 2013 tax transcripts wasn't included. It may take IRS up to 6 weeks or more to process once we file now and then request for transcript thereafter. Atleast, I hope to bring along the 2013 transcripts to my N-400 interview down the line.....

You do not need to submit tax transcripts with your N-400 application. It is suggested that you carry them for your interview. Unless there is more to the 2013 missing tax filing, you could just take transcripts for '14 and '15 to your interview. Also, you can carry the tax filings, tax transcripts and W2s for each year, if the IO decides to grill you then you have additional support.

I am not big on loading the applications and believe in providing what is asked for.

Thanks for the information Squareleg.

There is nothing more to my 2013 missing tax filling. It was not accepted and we never received any mail to that effect. However, we just mailed the 1040 again to IRS today.
