This is what is stated in the instructions.  The operative term is "Bring" and since you are filing the N400 under the 5 yr rule, you need to bring 5 yrs of tax returns/transcripts to the interview.  IMO, not including them in the initial filing should not result in an RFE, but with USCIS who knows.  I know if I were in your position, I would hold off as trying to match up supporting/interview material with the submission might be difficult for USCIS with a paper filing, then if on the off chance you get an RFE, you can send it then as it would stand a better chance of being matched up to your submission.  Otherwise, bring it to your interview along with an amended work history.

 

Good Luck!

 

Tax Returns and Overdue Taxes. Bring photocopies of income tax returns that you filed with the IRS for the past 5 years, or 3 years if filing for naturalization on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen. Tax returns are not required for every case. However, USCIS strongly encourages you to bring your tax returns; especially if you are filing based on marriage to a U.S. citizen or have traveled outside the United States for a period that lasted 6 months or more. You can request copies of Federal tax documents at your local IRS office or www.irs.gov.

 

You may also bring an original IRS tax transcript listing tax information for the past 5 years (3 years if filing on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen). To obtain a free IRS tax transcript, visit www.irs.gov. Select “Tools” and then select “Order a Return or Account Transcript.” For assistance, you can also call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946.

 

If you have any Federal, state, or local taxes that are overdue, bring:

 

(1) A signed agreement from the IRS, state, or local tax office showing you have filed a tax return and arranged to pay the taxes you owe; and

(2) Documentation from the IRS, state, or local tax office showing the current status of your repayment program.

What about instructions for people who got AOS through a parent and never married? 
 

Never left USA so chances are they will not ask for it but I am getting it anyway after I file my 2023 Federal tax return just incase.

 

The other issue is that I only listed my full time employer W-2 but also did side 1099 work and that is not listed in the N-400 application.  Would that cause any issues?

Taxes prove good moral character which is a N-400 requirement.

Yes but we did not file it with N-400. I also forgot to put my side Gig in the work history. I did put my full-time W-2 job.

You are filing under the 5 year rule, so your marital status is immaterial.  Read the instructions again, the marriage based phrase is for those filing under the 3 years rule based on marriage.

 

Good Luck!

Yes, and your N400 is based on the 5 year rule which is also not marriage based.

What about the additional work history in the application that I did not report?

Not an issue. Everybody has N-400 interview, you cannot be approved without it. As mentioned earlier, bring the errata sheet to your interview, correcting any mistakes or updating answers to questions if anything changes between now and interview.

Many people are getting the interview waived. Why is that? I believe that may have been for AOS?

No N-400 interview is waived.

 

You'll have to go to the interview and pass the civics test. That's at least one reason why N-400 is never waived.

 

AOS / ROC interviews can be waived but not naturalization.

Civics is a part of interview.

 

You will be also signing your name as to appear of naturalization certificate.

 

This is all part of interview, including Yes/No questions. I believe those are mandatory to be asked.

Gotcha. I assume random few questions will be asked about Yes/No to match what is in my application?

The Interviewer will review the entire N400 form with you, and allow you to make any additions or corrections.  As @OldUser stated, the N400 interview is never waived.
