I-864, Part 6, Income Tax Return sent not processed

[Rils 0]

Hello, 

I am finalizing my submission for the i864 and had a tax question I was hoping someone could answer.

Part 6, Income Tax Return 23.a. Have you filed a Federal income tax return for each of the three most recent years? Y/N

 

I have just recently (about 2 months ago) sent in my tax returns to the IRS (paper copy not online) to get caught up. According to my online account these transcripts are no available so I assume they have not yet been processed.

When answering this question, since I have sent in the completed tax returns but they haven't been processed do I write Yes or No to this question?

 

Thank you!

"Filed" means sent.....so, yes, you have filed.

Agree. You have filed. The form instructions tell you to submit copies of your filed tax return along with the W2 or 1099 employer wage statement that goes with it (in the case of no transcript).

I don't haven a W2 or 1099 because I have the foreign income exclusion for all my income. I don't need to explain there is no W2 or 1099 correct? Just send the 1040 with the Foreign income exclusion addition.

 If this is going to NVC, they aren’t that skilled at tax returns. They may look at it and see no W2/1099 and automatically give an RFE. I WOULD add on why you have no US wage statements.

 

You need a profile with visa type, embassy and a timeline to figure out where you are in the process. You get better answers when responders know your situation.
