e-filed tax return for moscow embassy interview affadavit of support

[coreyjschmidt 0]

Hello,

My fiancee and I got our NOA2 and its time to schedule an interview for the embassy in Moscow.

I have been travelling outside of US for a year now with no income, so we will use my brother as a co-sponsor.

I always efile my tax returns and I am self-employed in USA, so I have no employer. I have some emails from clients about work for this coming spring. (looks like I will be very busy when we get back) My 2012 tax return still shows a normal income, but my first question is

can I use the .pdf document sent by freetaxusa.com, even though it's not physically signed, or will i need to get an IRS transcript?

and 2nd question:

are bank statements printed from my online banking account sufficient, or do i need ones mailed from the bank itself?

I'm hoping the electronic ones will be sufficient since I'm still out of USA...

thanks very much for your help: )

You should likely opt for tax transcripts.
