US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Certified Copies of Taxes?	so the taxes do need to be notarized then Nope, doesn't say notarized here on the I-134 instructions. Why make it more complicated? Ya think sending a notarized copy when they don't ask for one could raise a red flag? Who knows, why bother? II. Supporting Evidence. As the sponsor, you must show you have sufficient income and/or financial resources to assure that the alien you are sponsoring will not become a public charge while in the United States. Evidence should consist of copies of any or all of the following documentation listed below that are applicable to your situation. Failure to provide evidence of sufficient income and/or financial resources may result in the denial of the alien's application for a visa or his or her removal from the United States. The sponsor must submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as appropriate: A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institution where you have deposits, giving the following details regarding your account: 1. Date account opened; 2. Total amount deposited for the past year; 3. Present balance. B. Statement of your employer on business stationery, showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. Salary paid; 3. Whether the position is temporary or permanent. C. If self-employed: 1. Copy of last income tax return filed; or 2. Report of commercial rating concern. D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).	Bruce n Jen	Male	0	2006-10-11 10:51:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Certified Copies of Taxes?	I read the instructions included with form I-134, can you tell me where it says Certified copies? It just says copies or "Copy of last income tax return filed." http://www.uscis.gov...forms/i-134.htm Need to apply KISS - keep it simple.... I agree, it only says one place for notarized, and that's the actual I-134, and no where does it say certified. Really, about the only place one might see certified is with divorce decrees and birth certificates.	Bruce n Jen	Male	0	2006-10-11 10:35:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134 Affidavit of Support	If you find the responsibilities of the I-134 alarming, you are in for a real treat with the I-864 for the Adjustment of Status. If you find the I-134 a 'huge' responsibilty, what do you think of marriage is? LOL !	Bruce n Jen	Male	0	2006-10-16 10:14:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Completing Affidavit of Support outside of United States	You haven't been making quarterly reports and estimated tax payments to the IRS? Yodrak Quarterly reports and estimated tax payments aren't going to document income. I do these actions for my practice and personal income. That would not show my present income for any real purposes. What would is below. The only quarterly reports are for paying withholding taxes on employees. As for documenting 2006, an accountant should be able to produce some documentation, ie balance sheet, profit and loss statement. Those would be required if applying for a mortgage or some other loans.	Bruce n Jen	Male	0	2006-11-29 09:30:00
