Gloria,
A signed and dated statement should come from the petitioner, accompanied by a printed citation from an IRS publication, describing her income for the year and showing that she is below the IRS threshold to be required to file an income tax return. The citation should state the IRS publication source and page(s).
I encounter this requirement most often with Social Security and/or Veterans Benefits recipients, as well as beneficiary-funded recipients of disability income, all of which are not required to be reported on income tax returns. IRS citations describing reporting exemptions are easily obtainable from the IRS website.
A substitute for a W2 copy can be obtained as a "transcript" from the IRS website, downloaded or ordered for mailing. Go to:
Paystubs alone are not proof that one was not required to file an income tax return, unless accompanied by an IRS citation or reference to a specific citation.

Isn't the minimum amount, not to file taxes under $700.00, any amount over you r required? I'm not 100% sure, but years ago I read something similar.Comment

Mary,
The minimum amount, above which one must file an income tax return, is based on gross income, filing status and age. $3,900 is the lowest threshold, applying to "married, filing separately"
