FORM I-134 Tax Transcripts or Tax Returns?

[Bluela 42]

Did you attach the 3 years worth of Tax Transcripts? or did you use the 1040a tax returns? Apparently when I did my research both were different. Does it even matter? Thank you.

Tax Transcripts are preferred but if submitting the 1040 make sure all supporting w2 1099 etc are attached

Do you mean the tax return transcripts 1040a is much better? I have the tax return transcripts but the IRS website is giving me problems with getting just the tax transcripts only.

Neither is "better" in terms of fulfilling the I-864 documentation requirements.

Tax transcripts are simpler...just print that and you're done.

A tax return copy means the 1040 (whichever variant that you filed) + all W-2s/1099s/other income schedules.
