Do you file taxes at all? If you do, send them your most recent transcript. If not, send them proof from the IRS that you have no filed 2018 / 2019 return with an explanation why you have no return.

For taxes, you send an explanation as to why you haven't filed (assuming you weren't required to)....For proof of income, you send a copy of your VA awards letter to show income.

Do you receive social security income as a disable veteran. You can use that in replacing of your income tax. Your tax return is to verify your income so that your foriegn relatives will not be goverment liability. Good luck

Nonsense.  He has no tax return because he is not required to file one.  The affidavit of support is what indicates the relative/beneficiary will not become a pubic charge.

 

In this situation, he can just hand write in the tax section "Not Required to File".  Then state and document his current tax free income sources with copies of award letter or letters.

 

A side note:  Many confuse the terms tax return and tax refund, calling their tax refund a tax return.  I've done it too.  The OP doesn't file a tax return, so would also not have a tax refund.  (Not a tax professional, but people who pay no taxes do get tax refunds.  Not sure if that can possibly apply in this kind of situation.)

Thanks! I wrote a letter of explanation telling how I do not receive any form of W2 & I’m not required to pay any taxes. Then I uploaded my award letter as my proof of income.

Beyond that, the OP gets VA benefits not SSI or SSDI. 

Yes, the OP made that clear in the first post.

A note for others.  Not required to PAY taxes is not the same as not required to file a tax return.  In your case, both apply because your only income is tax free.

You send a copy of your benefits letter from VA to provide evidence of your income.   You write a letter explaining your income isn't taxable, thus no tax return.
