here i go again with my incessant barrage of questions. i'd like to thank everyone who has been really patient with me and who have indulged my inquiries.

it's a pretty simple question actually. Is the Irs transcript just the same as the FORM 1040 (federal income tax return) and the w-2 (both are required documentation for AOS)?

thank you!!!

It indicates the same information... so Yes

thanks fwaguy. my husband has a co-sponsor, which is her mom. does that mean my hubby has to print the affidavit of support twice? or does the co-sponsor have an entirely different document altogether?

Each joint sponsor must execute a Form I-864 that is submitted in addition to the Form I-864 submitted by the petitioner or substitute sponsor.

So it's two different I-864, one for your husband and one from mom. Hope that helps!

I have the same question.

I keep seeing you need to include tax returns (with w2), as well as IRS transcripts. I thought these were the same thing.

Can anyone explain the difference? I had the IRS fax me the transcripts, and I have ordered my w2s from work.

I am wondering where to find my tax returns now.

Thanks in advance.

While you can always provide both, it is most important to provide one or the other.

Oh okay. So the FoRm 1040 (irs transcript) is entirely different from the w-2 but both are not required, only one or the other?

packet 4 says form 1040 and w-2 are required. i'm a bit confused.

Form 1040 plus ALL schedules and attachments (W-2, etc..) = Transcript.
