Instructions For Affidavit Of Support Under Section 213a Of The Ina (Form I-864ez) (Page 7 of 11) in pdf

Do not submit copies of your state income tax returns. Do not submit any tax returns that you filed with any foreign

government unless you claim that you were not required to file a Federal income tax return with the United States

government, and you wish to rely on the foreign return solely to establish the amount of your income that is not subject to

tax in the United States.

If you provide a photocopy of your tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every FormW-2 and Form 1099 that

relates to your returns. Do not include copies of these forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your returns rather than a

photocopy unless you filed a joint tax return with your spouse.

If you were required to file a Federal income tax return during any of the previous three tax years but did not do so, you

must file any and all late returns with the IRS and attach an IRS-generated tax return transcript documenting your late

filing before submitting the I-864EZ. If you were not required to file a Federal income tax return under U.S. tax law for

any other reason, attach a typed or printed explanation including evidence of the exemption and how you are subject to

it. Residence outside of the United States does not exempt U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents from filing a U.S.

Federal income tax return. See “Filing Requirements” in the IRS Form 1040 Filing Instructions to determine whether you

were required to file.

For purposes of this affidavit, the line for Total income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A is considered when determining

income. For persons filing IRS Form 1040EZ, the line for adjusted gross income is considered.

Obtaining Tax Transcripts. You may use IRS Form 4506-T to request tax transcripts from the IRS. Complete IRS

Form 4506-T with the ending date for each of your three most recent tax years listed on line 9. Follow all instructions for

completing and filing Form 4506-T with the IRS.
