Confusion on I-864 please help

[buttahgurl 0]

Hey! I am getting confused with the supporting documents for from I-864. Is a photocopy of your tax return just a copy of the 1040? I must be reading into the lines too much. Also has anyone been able to get the IRS to fax their transcript as opposed to mailing which takes longer?

Don't believe the IRS will fax a copy, mail is the only option i heard on the recording. I ordered my transcripts through the 800 # and had them in my box in exactly 8 days.

From what I have read, you can include a copy of your tax return that you filed with the IRS, (this is a photocopy). If you do this they also want copies of your W2 from employer(s) and copies of any form 1099.

Your other option is to get a tax transcript from the IRS for the most recent tax return year or for the last 3 most recent tax years to be more thorough. If you get a tax transcript then the I-864 instructions state you do not need to include copies of W2 and 1099 forms.

All of this info is contained in the I-864, that can be downloaded from the uscis website.

Getting a tax transcript is pretty easy and takes about two weeks or so. Just go the the IRS website and search ordering a tax transcript form 4506-T. To make the process as fast possible, you can fax your transcript request to the IRS, and you will get a transcript in two weeks or so. It may take longer now, since its tax season.

Take care...

So the photocopy is a copy of the form 1040?

YES....PHOTOCOPY=COPY

If you filed a 1040 to the IRS then thats what you copy. If you do this then you must also send a copy of your W2. Also, if you received a 1099, (for example, from a bank for the interest you made) then send a copy of that too. This is all explained well in the intructions attached to the USCIS form

I-864.

If you decide to get a tax transcript from the IRS instead of making copies of your tax return I do not think they will fax your transcript back to you, but remember, you can fax or call your request to the IRS, this will be faster then mailing the request. Once they get the request they will mail the transcript to you in a couple of weeks or so. Just get on the IRS website and search for obtaining a tax transcript. Its pretty painless.

Yes, IRS will fax a copy if you call them. A copy of a tax return would include all schedules and supporting documentation like W2 and 1099 forms, basically anything that your would have mailed them if you filed by mail.
