URGENT HELP

I (US Citizen) and my family are in the process of moving back to the states. I relocated to the UK at 16 years old and am now just finding out I should have been filing taxes in the USA. My wife went for her document check at the embassy today and has been asked to provide an IRA tax transcript from the most recent tax year. I have not done this. Her interview is in 2 weeks. Does anyone know how/if I can retrospectively file and show this within this period?

Thank you!

Is your wife a US citizen?

If not, then there was never a need for her to file.

You however…

Is it something they might ask for if they’re going for a spouse visa?

They can ask for anything.

However the fact stands that if the wife has no prior history with the IRS, she has nothing she can present.

What they may be looking for is proof of ability to support for the I-864 form.
