Affidavit of Support - Three Most Recent Tax Returns

[DSB27 13]

When the affidavit of support asks for the tax return for the three most recent tax years, does that currently mean 2019, 2018 and 2017, or 2018, 2017 and 2016? As I understand it, the 2019 tax year is complete, meaning that 2019 is the most recent tax year. But many people won't have all of the required information until several months later, and I don't even think the IRS is accepting 2019 tax returns yet.

 

Anyone know the answer to this?

Taxes are not officially due so therefore you can use the tax transcripts from 2018, 2017,and 2016.

2018/2017/2016 as of right now. The 2019 returns are not due until tax day.
