My federal tax was processed couple of weeks ago without any issues. So it was a surprise. This is a first time I need to handle such kind of request so your help is very much appreciated.
FTB requested me to send them copies of social security cards, ITIN documents, Forms W-2, Forms 1099, a copy of my driver's license or state identification card, and YTD paycheck stubs for my 2016 personal income tax return.
1) Does it mean my tax return is under review and it will delay processing time? What is the average time for the delay?
2) I've submitted a tax return online using TT. In my tax return PDF document online, I don't see any form 1099. Where could I find it? Is it possible I don't have it and need to ignore this specific request from FTB?
3) My driver's license was valid in 2016 but expired on 02/17. I'm not US resident and currently have a pending status in the US. Is it better to send them a copy of the first page of my passport issued by a country of my citizenship? Or better to send a copy of expired DL?
4) What is year-to-date paycheck stubs? My former employer in 2016 used TriNet. I'm able to download PDF documents for each pay stub that was issued 2 times a month. Do I need to download and print all 24 pay stubs for 2016 and send them to FTB or sending only the last pay stub for the middle of December will be sufficient?
5) What is the most reliable way to send it? I was thinging about using USPS Certified Mail or Priority Mail Express, since as I know FedEx and UPS will not accept destination address with PO box.
