From the I-864 instructions

If you provide a photocopy of your tax return(s), you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099

that relates to your return(s). Do not include copies of these Forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your return(s)

rather than a photocopy

I have heard of people getting an RFE for not sending in photos for each application, so I thought I rather go the save route and send them photos for each one. ;) But it's good to hear that it worked out for you!

I posted the duplicated in case of filling separately. But thank you for the input! ;)

Do you really need the w2's for all 3 years? On the I-864 they are only requesting the most recent year of tax returns, the other two years are voluntarily. I didn't know that you HAVE to send in w2's and pay stubs, I thought just the tax returns are sufficient, but thank you for letting me know!! :)

yes, if you send 3 years of tax returns, then you need to send w2's for those 3 years as well. I suggest you (re-)read the instructions again, especially page 5 and 6

I did read the instructions, and I now know why it's not included in my list. My fiancé is retired so there are no W2 (only 1099's), but it was my bad for not including them for other people that do work.

Then you need the IRS transcripts or a complete copy of his returns with all forms, schedules and 1099s.
