IRS Tax Transcript

[TracyFan 0]

Hello! I was trying to order IRS tax transcript, it gives me two options, one is account transcript and another one is return transcript, which one should I choose for my self-employed joint sponsor?

If my income is not good enough, do I still need to order my tax transcript or just my joint sponsor's alone? My joint sponsor is self-employed and U.S. green card holder, besides I-864 form, IRS tax transcript, and copy of his green card, what other documents do I need to turn in to NVC? like federal income tax return, copy of pay checks, business license, or others? He only has 1099, no W-2.

What is Federal Income Tax Return? Is it the copy of form 1040 that my agent gave me after they did my tax?

Thank you so much for your help!

You need your tax return transcript for 2014. That's all. And the same for your joint sponsor.

Don't order account transcript. That's useless.

The return transcript is what your tax return looked like as filed with the IRS.

The account transcript is what sort of tax assessments, refunds, or adjustments have occurred on your account to date.

Yes, Federal Income Tax Return is the copy your tax preparer gives back to you. It's the report you use to tell the government how much your income and taxes are for that year. For individuals, it's a Form 1040 series. That includes 1040, 1040A, 1040NR, and 1040EZ.
