Hi..My husband who is the sponsor..doesn't have tax returns and my Father-in-law who is sponsoring us showing finanacial evidence. Does my husband still need to write explanation letter for not having tax return or is it OK becos we are having joint sponsor/?..

Tax return docs are not available or tax wasnt filed at all?

If tax was filed but tax return documents are not available, you can call IRS to get a tax transcript for the previous three years.

If taxes were not filed, sponsor must backfile taxes with the IRS. Having a joint sponsor is not an excuse, sponsor must still submit a letter with explanation as to why taxes were not filed.

In the instructions they ask for 3 recent year tax return. Now if you don't have any of them you need to provide an explaination. He can send 2003, 2002 and 2001 with explaination for 2004.
