Are tax transcripts for the last five years the necessary docs for naturalization interview?

[issea 43]

My spouse will have the citizenship interview in the upcoming month. We'd like to know if we need take along with the tax transcripts for the last five years to the interview. 

I am asking this here is because there is no access of getting the 2013 tax transcript if we order it on IRS website, for they only provide those upto 3 years ago, namely 2014-2017. 

Do you guys know if it is okay to just present the tax transcripts from 2014-2017 that are ordered from IRS, meanwhile bring the copy of the tax return file for the year of 2013? Will this be a problem? We didn't expect the interview to be scheduled this early (just filed the application in late Aug, and the interview was scheduled in less than two months!!!), thinking if the interview'd take place after Jan 2019 we could order the new tax transcript of 2018 from IRS.  

If anyone has knowledge on this, please help on this question. Many thanks.

Did your interview letter ask you to bring them?  If not, then I wouldn't bend over backwards to get them, especially if they're not available.  People typically say they took all their transcripts and were never asked for them.  I can't remember a single case where someone had to hand a transcript over.

Thanks very much for your reply, and that really calms our nerves
