My mother in law (age 72) has some dividends and interest from certificates of deposit and banks - all in a foreign country. Even in the foreign country she does not earn enough and is therefore not required to file tax returns in the foreign country. In foreign country no tax is deducted at source so filing a return to recover taxes is out of the question.
In the US she has a simple checking account that does not any interest.
Her income in US is nil. Even with her global income she is under the gross income limits and always has been. Hence, she has not required to file tax returns in the US either.
The interview process mandates bringing transcripts OR certified copies of your tax returns.
Unclear how to proceed..... Anyone else in the same boat? If so, how does one navigate this requirement?
Is it sufficient to tell them that she did not have to file tax returns and was completely supported by her daughter and son-in-law ?

This is indirectly related. When I applied for citizenship I was in college and worked in a research lab. My income never put me above the threshold to be required to file taxes. But it was actually easier to just file anyway, than to show proof that I didn't have to file and show up empty handed. The IRS will accept the return and process it and it will be part of the record. usimmigrationforms.com
