Whenever we see any transcript reference, it means Tax Return Transcript.  We have quite a few lazy typists though.

I'm clarifying, because assumptions lead to mistakes which is easy to make when dealing with I-864

And thanks for typing all three words Tax Return Transcript.  However, that is not "always" available.  A complete tax return with all schedules, W2 and 1099 forms is also acceptable.  That's why the word "or" is in the instructions.  I agree a Tax Return Transcript is preferrable, but it is not "always" available.

Yes, my transcript has not appeared on the IRS website yet- So I may just have to submit the return as well as the joint sponsor.

@pushbrk I understand an I-864 for me, an I-864 for the Joint Sponsor, I-864a for the spouse (files jointly with spouse).  There is another household member who is 23, living in the same house, who is also using her income, but files separately.  Does she file out the I-864 or the I-864a?

That person files nothing unless their income is needed to qualify.  Otherwise the "a".  A person supporting themselves and filing their own tax return is also not counted in the Joint sponsors' household.

Thanks!  Ok, so if her income is needed, then we would use the I-864 for her and she would become the 2nd Joint Sponsor?

No.  To combine income you use the "a", the I-864a.  No shortcuts.  Time to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions, which make this abundantly clear.  Failing to do so, is foolish indeed.
