As long as you don't owe IRS money, you are fine... at least i think...

worst case, you can always amend your return....

Also, IRS always has a copy of your W2 - once your compnay send you one copy, it should also send IRS a copy that shows the identical information

Thanks!

Do you think the visa officer in China woulld be able to check out my marital status? Do you think in IRS's record, I am "married " or "single"? Thanks.

Thanks. But are you sure of this? Because I want to invite my parents to visit me. The VO might ask them whether I am married. I am not legalled married, but if the VO was able to find out that I am "married", it is devastating... S/he might think my parents lie...

不要紧的，vo不会向irs要资料的，你如果邀请材料想提供报税纪录，给1040好了，不仅证明你有收入，还证明你合法纳税了，比w2更有说服力呢

再说了，婚姻状态又不是一成不变的。还有，如果你用f1身份报税，即使你已婚，报税的状态还是single。我觉得你完全不必担心你父母的签证，下次再填表的时候注意不要出错。

如果报税有错可以填表更正，至于你这个w2的错误要不要更正，我不清楚。

Thanks a lot! You are right, as long as I file F-1, my tax status is single. Hope the VO doesn't have my W-2 record; or even if s/he has, s/he doesn't have so much time to review it.

1040寄除之前，你自己应该保留一份copy的，最好保留6年，跟报税有关的文件，比如你捐款的收据，都要保留，irs最多可以查6年的税，你要自己留好记录

将来办理移民有可能要最近3年的报税记录

邀请你父母不是必须提供这些，没有也无所谓，如果实在需要的时候，可以向irs申请copy，详情我不清楚，我自己都留好的，听人说起485被要求补材料要了这个，他去跟irs要的--ins只能直接跟你要，不能跟irs要的。

对了，你所有跟政府打交道的东西，自己都留个copy比较好，给移民局的申请，移民局的批准。。。。
