What constitutes "verification" that tax returns were submitted?

[adrianh 1]

I'm going to submit my I-751 in a few weeks, and I'm compiling documents / proof to go with it. The reminder from USCIS stated that I could send tax returns "with verification they were submitted to the tax jurisdiction".

 

We filed our tax returns via H&R Block and used e-filing. What verification would I need in this case, is this something H&R Block will have?

Many tax agencies and software (like TurboTax) will send a notification via email that your return was submitted to the IRS and accepted. You can contact HR Block and ask for proof of submission to IRS.

You can also access your official IRS tax transcript online and present that as proof:

Tax transcripts are the way to go, my friend did it and said it was very easy and quick.

Go to www.irs.gov and order your "tax return transcripts".  Don't be confused - do NOT choose "tax account transcripts".  You will have to have a valid cellphone.  And even then, it might not work (it didn't work for me).  So I just ordered them by mail.  You'll get them within two weeks.

I've used H&R block printouts and it worked fine for me but as others recommended tax transcripts are the right way to go. You could order them online by mail, or create an online account and access immediately, or walk in to a local IRS office and request a print out. Good thing when the time comes for your naturalization, you would use these transcripts again. so keep them handy.
