Tax transcript for wifes GC.....

[BritishGuy]

I'm in the process of gathering all the information required for the USCIS for my wifes GC. I'm filling out form 4506-T on the IRS website for my previous 4 years tax return transcripts. There's a few options on what type of transcript I require. The choices are :

- Return Transcript
- Account Transcript
- Record of Account
- Verification of Non-Filing (I know it's not this one)
- Form W-2, Form 1099 series, Form 1098 series, or Form 5498 series transcript

I'm a bit confused which one will be acceptable to the USCIS. I'm assuming it's going to be the "Return Transcript" - but just thought I'd ask on here just so that I don't get it wrong!

Thanks.

I agree on ' return transcript ' - a transcript of your Tax return : )

You can call instead of filling out the form - you get up to 5 years of transcripts either faxed or mailed to you. Number to call is
1-800-829-1040

Oh nice - I didn't know that they can fax the returns to you. No big deal. I faxed them my request last night. It'll take a few days for them to come. I'm in no rush - just want to be prepared though. Thanks for the heads up though.

Also, would the USCIS be wanting originals or would copies suffice?

Copies with application and original to be brought for interview. The form for request is at:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506t.pdf
It is quicker to call and request the same. If you wish to convey your request to a "human" the number to call is:
1-800-908-9946. for mail requests the link to the IRS web page and form is at:
http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=110571,00.html
You want to ask for a "return transcript".

I called the number and requested 3 years of transcripts. I did it all through the automated system without ever speaking to someone. I got all three transcripts about 6-7 business days later. It was much better than trying to make copies of all my tax returns!
