Submitting Joint Taxes As Evidence: Need to submit whole thing?

[Tee and Megan 10]

Hi all! 

We can't thank you all enough for all your help in the last few weeks! I am FINALLY finalizing everything for our packet (I know I said that a few weeks ago, but at last, I think we finally have almost everything I wanted to include); and one of my final questions is this: 

 

Did you all include perfect copies of all your jointly filed taxes since your loved ones entered the States? Or is only the first page necessary?

 

Thanks!! 

 

Blessings and Peace

Either send tax transcripts (proves you filed) or your complete 1040, all W-2s, all 1099s and anything other schedules that you sent in.  Most of us believe that transcripts are the better way to go.  You can order them online.  Whatever you choose to do, do NOT just send the first page of your tax return.

Order transcripts from the IRS. Compact format, all the required info.

Generally speaking, USCIS wants either the entire tax package (every form, every page) or the IRS transcript. You can get transcripts for free from IRS's website and they're only about 3 pages... Much cheaper to mail.

Thank you Suki!

 

So I just download and print the "Return transcript?" or is the "Account transcript" better?

Sorry to return to this question so late.  You need the "return" transcripts!  All the Account transcript shows is what you pay or what you owe.

 

Good Luck!
