Don't have tax returns for the last 3 years

[JayceC 0]

on the form, it asks if I have the tax returns for each of the 3 most recent tax years, I have 2018's and probably 2017's, but I did not work at all in 2016 (out of country from  mid 2015-2017)

Any ideas what I am supposed to say? I am assuming no, because if I said yes that would just be a lie, BUT a few points later it is asking for the info on the 3 most recent tax years. This is part 6 btw.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I don't make enough to sponsor her, father will be a joint sponsor.

You simply attach a letter explaining why you were not required to file

US citizens must report and file taxes (if earnings are above the filing threshold) regardless of where the income was earned or where the citizen resided.......if you weren't required to file, just write "income below filing requirements".....
