Should I submit Tax info in my N400 app. 5 year rule-Online

[fernanda08 1]

I am filling my N400 online with the 5-year rule. I have read so many people saying I should upload 5 years of tax info, yet the Online application does not request them, and the guide only mentions it when talking about not being in the US for x amount of time. 

 

So far, I've only uploaded my husband's divorce certificate, my GC, my marriage certificate... but now I'm wondering if I should go ahead and look for the past 5 years of income tax ... so from 2019-2023. 

Am I missing something? What should I do about the taxes?!!

2018-2022 (2023 tax returns are not fileable until 2024).

 

And yes you should.

Hahaha thank you! you are right, I was just counting back 5 years. I wasn't thinking tax years! Thanks for the reminder.

@fernanda08 consistently filing taxes is a proof of good moral character for the purposes of N-400. I would upload IRS tax return transcripts.

Uploading tax transcripts is recommended yes though not mandatory. Easier to submit them with the application online than delay or complicate the process by their absence
