AOS Sponsor

[CDLAdriver 18]

My cosponsor officially made $28,000 in 2017, but it seems the employer messed up the W-2 for the year 2016 and 2017. It shows the actual income minus taxes in the spot where actual income should be. In 2015, the employer filled out the paperwork correctly so I know the other years are mistakes. The guy they got to fill out their form is difficult and will not do it again. The income he put in the AOS form is less. Can we send this anyway and write a letter to go with it? I don't know what else to do.

Do you have the tax returns for those years?

Yes and they filed taxes according to what the employer did. They told me if they get tax transcripts it will show the $28,000.

Can the tax transcripts be taken to the interview?

I'm not expert, but I imagine if you file everything and a letter explaining (maybe get one from employer confirming the W-2 is incorrect too) you should be okay.

It's a difficult situation to be in for sure.

 

 

You can also contact the IRS if you believe the W2 is incorrect (https://www.irs.gov/faqs/irs-procedures/w-2-additional-incorrect-lost-non-receipt-omitted/w-2-additional-incorrect-lost-non-receipt-omitted)

Okay, upon closer look at their W-2 it looks like about $3,000 of their income was deferred and not taxable. Maybe they had a retirement plan. This counted for social security and Medicare -- the income shown there is $28,000, but the income shown on wages is $25,000. She really had $28,000 so I'm trying to understand why the guy who filled her papers didn't use that figure.
