Tax filling for affidavit support

[Tommy john 9]

Hi guys , 

i have question please , my wife received the W2 of 2018 - but didn’t fill the tax yet 

 

is that good idea to involve that paper with affidavit of support as proof of ongoing income ? Provided that we attach 2017 tax papers as the most recent tax .

 

thank you !

I think you will be fine attaching your 2017 tax transcript. I myself am getting ready to submit concurrent AOS in February, and will be including my 2017, 2016, and 2015 transcripts from the IRS. Now, if you are planning to submit, say, in May 2019, after tax returns are due in April 2019, then you may want to include your 2018 tax transcript. Alternatively, you could submit your 2017 transcripts, and then bring the most current tax transcripts to the interview for the IO to add to your file.

Not sure if you're asking me. If yes, go ahead and private message me.

 

I re-read your question, and realized I did not give you a direct answer. Answer: No, do not attach just the W-2 for 2018, because the W-2 alone is not sufficient evidence that you filed taxes.

 

What you should do is either request tax transcripts from the IRS for the last year your filed (or last three years is even better) and attached those, or attach copies of your completed tax returns for last year. By completed tax returns I mean include all schedules, w-2, 1099, etc. The tax return (say 1040) by itself will not suffice.

 

If I've confused you more, go ahead and PM me.

I just attached W2 of 2018 because my wife current income of 2018 is xxxx but no proof of that so I just attached W2 as proof and I clarified that we didn’t fill for 2018 yet , That’s why I send all tax papers of 2017 and 2016 as well 

 

is that ok ?

If I were you, I wouldn't attached her 2018 W-2. The instructions state "You must provide either an Internal Revenue

Service (IRS) transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most
recent tax year."

 

As of right now, you cannot file a tax return for 2018. I believe the IRS will begin accepting returns on January 28. So the most recent tax year would be 2017.

 

The instructions go on to say "If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every
Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns."

I'm assuming your wife is the petitioner who is filling out the Affidavit of Support.
