Issues with I-751

[Henley1989 10]

Has anyone experience the following. I have started to fill out the PDF on my computer and on page 6 it keeps auto filling the signature box with my name. Also seems to add a middle letter that doesn't exist! Ive turned off auto-fill in adobe. Any suggestions?

 

Side note not of relevance - I dont have access to my wifes past 2 W-2s. Is that an issue? I can order her IRS transcripts but wont actually have a copy of the official W2. I have plenty of other good evidence..

Only need W2 for complete tax return submittal. If you use the transcripts you do no need the W2.

Thanks. I have the transcripts for myself which identify joint tax return - Do I still need to order the wifes or pointless? Mine from the last 2 years is fine?

[cyclone27 710]

Well you filed joint so if you request hers they will be the same.  Yes - copies of the last 2 yrs transcripts are fine.

Although I only ordered the Account transcript which seems pretty basic. Perhaps I should order the Return transcript?

Not sure what account is should bevtranscripts for your tax returns. Basically a 1-2page summary.

When you order via mail from IRS you have two choices. I did the second one. I think the first is better...

• Tax Return Transcript - shows most line items including your adjusted gross income (AGI) from your original tax return (Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) as filed, along with any forms and schedules. It doesn’t show changes made after you filed your original return. This transcript is only available for the current tax year and returns processed during the prior three years. A tax return transcript usually meets the needs of lending institutions offering mortgages and student loans. Note: the secondary spouse on a joint return must use Get Transcript Online or Form 4506-T to request this transcript type. When using Get Transcript by Mail or phone, the primary taxpayer on the return must make the request.  
• Tax Account Transcript - shows basic data such as return type, marital status, adjusted gross income, taxable income and all payment types. It also shows changes made after you filed your original return. This transcript is available for the current tax year and up to 10 prior years using Get Transcript Online or Form 4506-T. When using Get Transcript by Mail or phone, you’re limited to the current tax year and returns processed during the prior three years. Note: If you made estimated tax payments and/or applied an overpayment from a prior year return, you can request this transcript type a few weeks after the beginning of the calendar year to confirm your payments prior to filing your tax return.

I would say to request both and send them as evidences because you will never know what USCIS really checking when it comes to filing of taxes so better if you have back up if the other documents is not enough.

Tax return transcript shows you filed joint. For the purpose of removing conditions, it shows you claim to be married and filed a joint return...just another way to show you commingle money.  It has nothing to do with how much you make, meeting a support threshold, or a W2 (which does not have both names on and doesn't prove anything is  joint).

The tax account transcript just shows that you paid.  You need the tax RETURN transcript that shows every line of your tax return.

You don't need it at all - it isn't a required document.

However, the transcript shows whether you filed as married filing separately / married filing jointly or single (bad) which is all USCIS really care about in relation to tax returns.
