Tax Transcript for K1?

[er1c 0]

I just happened to see a post about Tax Transcripts. I had never heard of this and I started to freak out!

My fiancee is coming from Rio de Janeiro. Looking at the RJ Site http://www.embaixada-americana.org.br/inde...amp;itemmenu=58 and reading the Application instructions, they state;

You may present your own means of support or the petitioner may fill out an Affidavit of Support, form I-134. The sponsor must attach proof of his/her income such as: copy of last U.S. Federal Income Tax (form 1040), proof of current employment, job offer, pay-slip, etc.

Nothing is mentioned about transcripts...

Do I still need to obtain one (or more) transcripts???

You don't 'need' the transcript(s) - if you submit a copy of the 1040, you have to also submit the supporting documents such as W-2s, 1099s etc. If you order and submit transcript(s), you don't have to attach any supporting documents since the transcripts contain all official information needed.

If you don't have copies of your 1040 you can request transcripts from the IRS.

Ok, I should have the 1040's and W-2's so I guess I should be safe.

Thanks for the replies!

If I have the tax returns and transcripts, should I need W2´s?????
