need to update tax documents

[Aziliz 2]

Hello,

 

My husband and I concurrently filed for the i-130 and i-485 on Oct. 10.

Unfortunately, we realized while putting our documents together that I had filed the wrong tax form for the last two years  . I completed the correct forms (or so I thought) and attached them to our file (as I was going to file 1040  X > form to make corrections on your submitted tax forms) and we sent the our file to USCIS (haven't received our NOA yet). Well as it turns out, those forms where incomplete/wrong too (forgot about the tax treaty I signed) so I need to send the new ACTUALLY correct document to the USCIS & as well as updated transcripts.

How do I do that?

 

The amount of money I was owed by the IRS doesn't change with the correctly updated documents; however, the document I included says that I owed the IRS money and was sending them a check to get that all sorted out. 

 

Thanks for the help!

The amount of taxes paid does matter and the form I sent has the wrong amount.

They can deny my application if they spot the errors.

 

The one thing I have for me is that we need a joint sponsor, so my income and the forms I sent in shouldn't matter that much.

Do you think I shouldn't worry? I am waiting on the new IRS transcripts in case they RFE them (we only sent the tax returns).

They are not IRS agents.  Sine they only care about your ability to support and your earnings capacity, what is there to correct.  They don't validate whether you filed the right form or calculated the correct tax liability.   That is NOT what that article is referring to.  The article is referring to the intentional omission of required evidence in order to file earlier in order gain an earlier place in line.

True, I am not sure how much information they get from the IRS.

 

Also, I just read that the i-944 (which required those tax forms) has been set aside nationwide, so they might not even look at any of the documents I provided in there.

They get no information from the IRS.  If they did, then submitting returns or transcripts would not be needed.
