If your joint sponsor has already filed 2021 taxes, I would submit them.   That might even avoid an RFE.

OK,  would help to know all the facts

please complete a timeline on your profile

as all your past posts refer to a K1

 

are u in the US and doing AOS or spouse is in foreign country and doing CR1?

 

right now all u can provide to NVC is 2020 tax returns and whether NVC sends an RFE,  we don't know

depends on the returns and income 

but RFE will not be for the fact they are 2020

I was just wondering as all of us filing for an extension will be impractical...

well,  u will need the 2021 tax returns for interview 

so, doing a I 864 and 2020 taxes at this point is almost useless

 

do u know u can wait to do the AOS part of NVC for a year keeping the case open by notifying NVC once a month to keep case open 

(case #,  both names and both DOB's needed on any email u send to NVC)

this would give u time to process the 2021 tax returns

Why waste a month of waiting? 

I will have the 2021 taxes before the interview.

Can't i file now? Gain a month in advance of the NVC wait times. Then take the 2021 taxes to the embassy??

Yes you can do this if you choose to.  Here's what I included on the I-864 in similar circumstances, in April of 2019, and uploaded at the NVC stage.  Took the filed 2019 tax return to the visa interview in June of 2019.

Make sure you file for an extension request. Easy to do online and will give you until October to file. If you can't file by the 18th of April. And it should be based on the date they receive your package, so as long as they have it before the 18th of April, they would only expect 2020 tax transcripts. They may ask for updated ones at the interview down the line if your 2020 is close to poverty level, but that's down the line.

I uploaded my state tax return on Febuary 9, and I recently did my 2021 since I do not file federal tax because I live in a US territory and we are excluded. Do I still have to upload the 2021 State tax, would that reset and delay my case by uploading another document?

Why would NVC be interested in state taxes?

Just in my case. I did it to prove that I do file my W2 and because Im exempt of federal taxes because I live in a US territory and according to IRS, residents bona fide of the territory  are exempt only if there only income is from the territory. I still uploaded it just in case🤔🤷‍♂️. Check Topic 901 from IRS.

 

I had my doubts too. This happens when you live in Puerto Rico, US Virgen Islands etc

As of right now. Would uploading 2020 tax transcript as latest tax year . Cause an RFE from NVC once they process it after April 18th? No I can't file 2021 taxes now or anytime soon as I am missing documents that would take at least a month.

Last year (2021) the IRS gave an automatic extension from mid-April 2021 changed to mid-May 2021 for 2020 taxes.  We submitted the AOS papers at the very end of April and I used 2019 tax transcripts.  We were never asked for 2020 taxes, even during the interview which was in December 2021.  I wrote earlier in a different thread on our entire process and how we were never asked any questions during the interview at the Embassy as well as the interview for AOS.  Both interviews took less than 5 minutes and it seemed more to confirm that the person applying for the visa/GC was actually that person.
