No tax transcripts

[Ann&James 179]

My friend has an interview  on December 16th  at the Trinidad  embassy. She got an email from thr embassy  to upload husband's  tax transcript.  Her husband has no tax transcript because he collects ssdi benifits, which is below the amount  needed to file with irs. He wrote a letter stating  such when documents was uploaded to nvc. What should  she do?

he needs the letter from IRS saying he did not file

look for info on IRS site

and he will probably be asked to get a joint sponsor as SSDI is not a lot to live on and he can not add spouse to his health care insurance as he gets medicare

Thanks but he already have a joint sponsor.  He wrote a letter outlining why he didn't  file. I have never heard about a letter from irs.

Seems the IRS only provides proof that he did not file but not that he is not required to file...

• Verification of Non-filing Letter - provides proof that the IRS has no record of a filed Form 1040-series tax return for the year you requested. It doesn't indicate whether you were required to file a return for that year. This letter is available after June 15 for the current tax year or anytime for the prior three tax years using Get Transcript Online or Form 4506-T. You must use Form 4506-T if you need a letter for tax years older than the prior three years.

Thanks for all the help provided. My friend re uploaded the the letter that her husband wrote explaining  why he did not file taxes and the 1099 from social security she also send the same documents  with an explanation  in an email to the embassy. She had her interview on December  16th and was approved. Her visa was  issued the next day.
