I-864 Tax Transcript Question

[Shaun & Seoyeon 0]

Hello,

 

I'm preparing my Tax Transcripts to submit for the i864.  I have 2021, 2020, and 2019.  My issue is that for 2019 and 2020, I mistakenly filed as Single.  For 2021, I filed as Married (filing Separate).

 

I've filed the appropriate 1040x for both 2019 and 2020 to correct the filing status, but the IRS appears to be pretty backlogged and I don't know if the changes will reflect in the tax transcript by the time I want to upload to CEAC.

 

I will be filing with a joint sponsor (parents) whose income will meet the requirements.  My income (foreign-earned) will not meet the requirements. 

 

Essentially, I'm worried that it might caught issues if I file my tax transcripts that show my status as Single, and I'm curious what are my options?  1) Only file the tax transcript from 2021?  My foreign earned income will be $0 anyway, so is there a point to also file 2020 and 2019?  ///  2) File all three years, with a letter explaining the issue as well as copies of the 1040x?  ///  3) File all three years, with some sort of proof from the IRS that the changes have been received?  I'm not sure what proof the IRS would be able to give me with this option, though.

 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you in advance!

Don't worry, no issues. Just the most recent year's tax return transcript is mandatory anyway. The prior two years' are optional so don't submit.

Exactly.  This is a non-issue, but the earlier transcripts are not needed anyway.  Just enter the information from them, on the form.  (Total Income)

Thank you all -- I thought that might be the case!
