Told you in that other thread I wouldn't advise sending in that fraudulent return.  It was one thing when you said you were a dependent.  Apology probably accepted.   It became a completely different issue if you signed a married filing jointly return. 

 

MODS:  MERGE THESE THREADS

 

 

Should I include still the apology in the cover letter or just better remove it? 

 

Did I say it right, A copy of federal income tax return for tax year 2016 (Form 1040X and any W2s) ?

In your place I would send the 1040X, change the letter from apology to a note that errors were discovered on your wife's original return and it was re-filed, and leave it at that.  The income and tax and sponsorship and support information is actually your wife's responsibility, not yours.  I am puzzled as to why this is being dumped on you to figure out. 

Note:  Anytime you send in a copy of a return rather than a transcript attach copies of everything related to the return.  1099's (bank interest, etc) and W2's (income from employer).  Make sure the income matches up.

That's all there is to it on the tax return.  You are actually fortunate that you did not send the first one.  If a sharp processor saw that they (USCIS) could have potentially made trouble for the two of you.

Good luck

Do I still need to mention the errors discovered like the filing status? Because in the 1040X it states the reason for the amendment which is “filing status from mfj to single”

 

Thank you so much! I appreciate everything. God bless you
