The difference between transcript and complete tax return

[Thatgirl2 21]

So quick background, filed in September, got an RFE, RFE was for complete tax return. We filed with h&r block. So my husband finally managed to go to IRS office and got a " tax return transcript ". Now I'm confused as to if this is enough or I need something else? TIA

An IRS tax transcript will be all that you require, if the RFE calls for a complete tax return.

Yes it does. I plan to print out another h&r block since If I recall we didn't sign the last one, and attach the transcript to it and that should be enough.

A complete tax return is one that has copies of ALL the forms, schedules, attachments, W-2s and/or 1099s. Basically everything you would have to send into the IRS had you mailed in your tax return to them.

A tax return transcript from the IRS is equal to a complete return and can be sent in place of a copy of a complete tax return. They contain less pages but have all the information that is needed and come directly from the IRS. USCIS tends to prefer them.
