Urgent help: Tax Return requirement for filing I485

[glassdream]

Hi, there

I was asked to provide Tax Return document for filing I485.
Since I did not keep the paper copy of my previous tax return,
I called IRS and was told there are two options to get such documents:
One is called Copy of Tax return, which is obtained by completing
and mailed 4506 form to IRS;
Another is called Tax return Transcript, obtained by filing 4506-T form to
IRS.

So which one (Copy or transcript) for tax return should I get prior
to filing I485?

Appreciate your kind help.

I got the transcript of my Tax return once. It is only a summary of Tax filing. It does not give much details of your Tax return. It's always better to have the complete Tax return. IRS charges $39, and says it takes upto 30 days to receive the copy of the Tax return. So, hurry

This note is only my idea, act accordingly and consult an attorney in case of doubt
