1.  The federal tax return consists of the set of documents the tax PAYER prepares and sends to the IRS.  The tax transcript is a document created by the IRS which shows exactly what was received and processed by the IRS.  Transcripts must be obtained from the IRS either by mail or by downloading from the IRS web site.

 

The 1040 is part of a tax return.

 

2.  Transcript preferred.  But you can submit a 1040 and all supporting documents and schedules.

I downloaded the IRS transcripts. There’s no charge for them and you can save them as a pdf file and easily attach.

You have your real answer but "AGI" is only applicable if you file the 1040EZ.  Otherwise the number you need for the affidavit of support is the "Total Income".  Sometimes total and adjusted are the same number.
