Ok. I'm in London so may have to go up to the IRS at the embassy.

My wife is super busy with work at the moment so do you think they would give me her transcripts if I took some sort of ID of hers?

Re: Final Queries
 

No, you can't get them from there. Someone in the US needs to call, and they are mailed to a US address. I don't think the IRS will send them to an overseas address, although now I recall a faxing option, if you can get them on the phone from there. That might be a possibility?

Re: Final Queries
 

Maybe not a transcript but im sure I heard someone say the London IRS prints something out for you and stamps IRS on it which is accepted by the embassy.

Re: Final Queries
 

Even so, I wouldn't think you can do it for her just by bringing her ID with you.

You're kidding, yes? Ever heard of purse-snatching?

If you had your pocket picked, how happy would you be if some government agency gave away even more of your personal information to the thief?

Yes, when you turn in late returns, they will stamp a copy 'filed' or 'received' for your own record. I've never heard about getting a copy of that back after the fact. I always assumed that returns submitted there were reviewed or entered into the system or whatever happens to them after filing, was done in the US. IE the London office just forwards them to the US.
But I really don't know.

What you want to separate out (IE 'wage slips') is information to document two separate things:
-2009 Income tax return (a complete return includes all pages of all forms completed + all attachments that were included, W-2, 1099 etc)

-Current income

In your case, I would also add significant evidence of the transfer to the new, US job. Letter from employer, wage slip etc.


Note that ALL of this is going to depend on when your 'cut off' for your own I-864 is. Because you are arching over the change in year, make sure you are documenting the correct thing.
What I'm saying is, if you fill it out today, it's one data set, but if you fill it out on Jan 2, it will be another.

My wife just had the IRS send over her 2007 tax transcript (we live in London)

Re: Final Queries
 

Yes, my husband also had his 2009,2008 and 2007 transcripts sent to our London address by IRS. He didn't call them, he filled out and mailed the transcript request form. I assume they believed it was him as it was the same address as it was on the tax returns. Last summer they also sent us a check for tax refund for his 2009 return, and this came to London too. Of course we then had to send the check back to his mother in the US so that the money could be cashed out:D

Re: Final Queries
 

So you're saying the IRS at the embassy can't furnish me with ANYTHING that can be used to show her tax returns??
I find that extremely funny.

My wife is at the embassy as I type this asking them for evidence of her filing. I'll report back when she returns.

Re: Final Queries
 

I'm sorry I dont understand what you're saying. Why would the information be different next year from today?

Re: Final Queries
 

Ok so my wife is back from the IRS at the embassy. They printed out 2007 2008 and 2009 information on her taxes and stamped IRS on it.

But i'm now worried that this may not be enough. I though that this was exactly what we needed.

Anyone? My interview is 2 weeks on Friday.

Re: Final Queries
 

Why do you think this isn't enough? Does it seem to be missing something?

Rene

Re: Final Queries
 

YOU, that's true. As you can see, though, they did furnish it to your wife.

Rene

Re: Final Queries
 

Because I heard that to get a tax transcript you need to get it from the US?

It has all the information on it plus a summary page and IRS stamp.

Re: Final Queries
 

The IRS office at the US Embassy is official, so what you have in hand should be fine.
