I'm going to bring her all the original documents (W2, bank statements, employer letter). The 1040 was the only one that wouldn't be original. I only ask this because I have seemingly terrible luck with the post office where I live. Things are constantly getting lost, not arriving, things I send out get lost, it's just a mess. The closest IRS office is quite far away from me and it's not really a customer service type office. I'm going to order the transcript, I'm just thinking in the worst case scenario where the interview arrived and I wasn't able to obtain the transcript, if in the opinion of you all/those who maybe have tried, if it's been acceptable. Fingers crossed the transcript arrives. Thank you to all those that replied!

Hi Dale_Trisha, thank you for your response

I'm aware that you can order transcripts from the IRS. If my fiance only had my e-file, would that be enough combined with my other forms of evidence be enough to convince the Manila office? Each year it's what I have when I e-file. So I have this packet of documents that show all my income. I can use it in the US for things fine, I'm just unsure about the Consular acceptance. Has anyone got by with their e-file documents (1040ez)?

Hello all!

I just have a few quick questions in regards to proving evidence of support and I was hoping the knowledgeable people of this site would be able to help me

I'm in the US and my fiance is in the Philippines.

"You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form with original signature will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134."

I have the I-134 form completed. I have W-2's. I can get an employment letter and a bank statement showcasing assets. I'm aware that if you made the required amount during the past year that you don't need to show assets but I'm going to bring a bank statement to be thorough. I also can furnish paystubs. The only thing I'm iffy on is the Income Tax Return (1040).

Each year I e-file my Federal tax return (1040ez). I do this via TurboTax. After I file, they give me a document to save for my records. After a few days I receive a confirmation that my Federal Tax Return has been accepted.

My question is: Is my e-file document that is provided to me by an e-filer, sufficient to show for the Federal Tax Return? I'm aware that you can order transcripts from the IRS but I simply want to know if by any chance, I don't have the transcript from the IRS and only have the documents that I have after e-filing each year - Is that acceptable?

I hope that doesn't sound too garbled and is clear enough for others to understand me. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this
