Do you need tax returns at Citizen interview?

[cutezangel]

I have heard that you need to take with you to the interview for citizenship, three years of tax returns, is this right? what other documentation do you need with you?

Hi cutezangel,

When i went for my interview i had simply taken my interview letter, my passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate and green card. Unless your interview letter specially asks for the tax returns, i do not see why you would need to take it with you.

Good Luck!

If the interview letter doesn't specifically asked for tax returns you don't have to take them with you.
If they ask "did you file income tax" a simple "yes" will do it.
If suspicions arise regarding your tax filing, they may ask to see them.

It doesn't hurt to take them in case they ask for it. Normally they would not be required. And for sure, don't volunteer to show any additional documentation--including tax returns--unless you are asked for it.

You can simply request tax statements from the IRS ... that is easy, takes just a few minutes (automated phone service) and does not hurt when you have it with you for the interview. You can request up to the prior five years. Visit the IRS website and call their number.
