thxn for the website..

as per their definition,tax return and tax return transcripts are the same thing..

Definitions:

A tax return transcript shows most line items from your tax return (Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) as it was originally filed, including any accompanying forms and schedules. It does not reflect any changes you, your representative or the IRS made after the return was filed. In many cases, a return transcript will meet the requirements of lending institutions such as those offering mortgages and for applying for student loans.

A tax account transcript shows any later adjustments either you or the IRS made after the tax return was filed. This transcript shows basic data, including marital status, type of return filed, adjusted gross income and taxable income.

They are only the same thing in the sense of what you filed. However, transcripts are considered "official" because it proves that the IRS has gotten your tax return.

For the purpose of the I-864 you can either submit the 1040 with all supporting income slips OR a tax transcript, both are acceptable.
