Tax return question?

[lesters101]

When they ask for 3 years of tax returns, what if you only have one years worth? For example, filed in Oct 2002 for EAD, got approuved May 2003, so i filed for only 2003, which is from May to Dec 31st. Its probably a stupid question but i was just wondering.

when they say three years of tax return...they mean all the tax return that have been filed in the past three years. If you filed only one tax return in the past three years...then you would submit only one.

You are supposed to file tax returns even if you have no income. Though you will not get penelized for not filing a tax return if you do not owe any money to the IRS.
