Joint Tax Returns & I-751

[everyoneelse 0]

Hello, we're submitting all paperwork for my husband's I-751 tomorrow! We have two tax returns to submit, and I'd love to know if we have to give the INS each return in its entirety, or will the top two pages of the 1040 (Questions 1-75) suffice? Or something else?

Didn't realize the tax returns were so hefty. Plus, if we don't have to submit all that personal information, that'd be sweet. They've got enough, I'd think!

Thanks very much in advance! Jackie

Actually, you need to provide the IRS tax transcripts for your returns. Call the IRS and get them for free. 1-800-829-1040

I sent in only two pages of my 2004 tax return and my application was approved.

The tax transcript is very convenient and it is easy to obtain.

You need to submit the transcripts or certified copies. Go for the transcripts since they are free.

If you have the time, the transcripts take about 10 business days to obtain.

In the event that you don't use transcripts, the entire (Federal) return, with all schedules and attachments should be provided.

I sent only the 1040 sheets for 2004 and 2005 + a letter about a refund we received.

Don't know whether it will be sufficient, time will tell! I have an appointment for biometrics on Monday, so it has gone through so far.

Sweetgirl,

What works for one does not necessarily work for another. How can you say that, not knowing the financial circumstances of the particular couple? !!! If the US citizen derives income from self-employment, then the Schedule C and SE would be necessary.
