My I-485 interview is in less than two weeks. I’m wondering if I will need my husband (sponsor) and MIL (co-sponsor) to do their tax returns for 2019 as i’m not sure they’ve done them yet - I attached copies of the ones from 2018 to my application. The interview instructions say to bring federal income tax returns and W2s from the most recent tax year. How long do these take to fill out and receive back? Can I expect an RFE at my interview if I don’t bring tax stuff for 2019?

I wouldn't expect 2019 tax returns to be required until after April 15th, the deadline for filing.....

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

You can't even file until Jan 27th at the earliest, so I would say it is unreasonable for them to demand 2019 tax returns. If they do ask, your answer would be "They haven't done them yet and according to the IRS, they have until April 15th to do so."

As said, it’s highly unlikely they ask for 2019 tax return. Most people just start getting W2 and other things toward the end of Jan.

 

However I’d at least advise to bring the latest paystubs just in case.

That's a kinda wrong statement. We asked out tax professional and he said we can file taxes already. IRS will not process it immediately but you can file it.

This is the quote from IRS site:
"While taxpayers may prepare returns through the IRS' Free File program as well as many tax software companies and tax professionals before the start date, processing of those returns will begin after IRS systems open later this month."

What about this part?

“IR-2020-02, January 6, 2020

WASHINGTON ― The Internal Revenue Service confirmed that the nation's tax season will start for individual tax return filers on Monday, January 27, 2020, when the tax agency will begin accepting and processing 2019 tax year returns.”
