You can produce 2016 tax return with all supporting W2s and 1099s and anything else you used to file tax return, in place of tax transcript.

 

Tax transcript is not an absolute necessity.

 

Good luck for the interview.

COMPLETELY CORRECT ( A COPY OF THE 1040, W-S FORMS, 1099 FORMS ( ALL VARIATIONS ) , MAKE SURE (IF YOU ARE MARRIED AND THE SPOUSE DOES NOT HAVE AN ITIN NUMBER)  THAT YOU FILED IN A STATUS MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY. PUT YOUR SPOUSE NAME ON THE FORM, LEAVE THE SSN PORTION BLANK.  IF YOU FILED AS  A SINGLE PERSON, IT IS A RED FLAG AT THE INTERVIEW.  FILE A CORRECTED 1040 IF YOU MUST TO SHOW THE MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP ON YOUR TAX FORM.  JUST MY 2 CENTS..

THANK YOU Jojo92122    You have solved this mystery!   Also, it looks like it takes the website about 24 to 48 hours to become initialized in order to pay the fees.  Tonight  (Friday) I received my case number and Invoice ID number. I tried to pay but the website didn't provide any links to pay. I called NVC to ask why. They said that yes I am in the system  but I cannot pay anything until Monday because the website servers have not finished processing my case and presented me with a fee bill to pay.

No. I don't know if this is allowed. I understand the desire to be fast and efficient especially after such a long wait at USCIS. However when I called the NVC yesterday to receive my case number the agent gave a very piece of advice to just follow the directions given and the file will get processed as fast as possible. So I had to tell all my horses to hold on and be a little patient.  Ha ha

I filled out I-864 today. I understood that you used the '"Adjusted gross Income" number IF you are referring to a 1040 EZ form. If you are using a regular 1040 (as I am) you should use your total income figure ( see line 7 on your form ), not the adjusted gross income figure at the bottom of the form.
