Can Tax transcripts issued by IRS be used in leu of tax returns ?

[Rajesh Paul]

Chennai consulate is apparently asking for tax returns of the last 3 years. Are the tax transcripts (which are easily available from IRS) good enough for this purpose ?

Thanks

YES tax transcript is fine.

Yes, tax transcript from IRS is fine

If you have the W2 from your employers... people have also taken those with them as it also has the tax paid by you

I took the sailing permit from IRS

I printed out the tax returns for 3 years, I have w2s and Iam taking the irs 2063 which says I have paid all my taxes for the year 2000.

I am in the same boat....

Hi,

THe documents needed for CP Interview include the tax returns for the last three years. I dont have the tax returns for year 98 and 99. I got the transcripts for these years but later I came to know that these are only the fedral tax transcripts.

I do have the tax returns for the year 2000 though.

Can somebody tell me if the counsulate insists on the Tax returns ?
Or if they accept the transcripts is the Fedral tax trascript sufficient?

Thanks for your time,
Kuldeep.

sailing permit - do I need to have payed taxes for 2001 to get that?

i.e. do I need to get my taxes done for last year before I apply for the sailing permit?

Thanx all....

Kuldeep, tax transcripts are only for federal, and that should do. I\'m taking off for India tomorrow.

Thanx once again to everybody for sharing all the info. You all have indeed made this much easier for all CPers.
