I-134: Tax return question(s)
I'm preparing our I-134, Affidavit of Suppport. You're asked to
provide a copy of last income tax filed. For the last five years I've
used Turbo Tax software package to prepare and submit my own. Does a
copy of such satisfy the requirement(s) or do I have to request copies
from the IRS, if so what is the difference? Do I provide last years
only or for the last three as I've seen some people suggest?
Thank you all very much!

All they care about is that you provide them with an accurate depiction of your income picture. I, like you, have used TurboTax for several years. I just printed off the exact same forms I sent to the IRS for the tax year 2002 and got transcripts of the previous two years from the IRS. As it happens, when I sent this stuff off to my wife, the transcript was not yet available for the 2002 tax year. If anyone thinks they will NOT suffice, please say so. I believe they are sufficient. I wish you well.

I don't know what Embassy you are going through, but we'll be going through Kiev, so I e-mailed them about this, because I also use TurboTax. They said they only needed copies of my last 2 returns, and that they didn't need to be signed. So, making copies off your computer will do just fine (for Kiev anyway).

I thought you only had to include tax returns if you're self-employed?
(I was planning to send copies for at least 3 yrs anyway, just so they have a TON of stuff and *hopefully* won't RFE or deny. But to be sure, I'll prob do 5 now. This is what reading around here is good for.
