What is the name of that tax form?

Hey there,

My fiance and his co-sponsor are filling out the I-134's for my interview at the moment. My co-sponsor is having a little trouble locating her W-2's, and I remember there being mention of some sort of tax receipt you can get from IRS to show your last year's tax return... not a W-2, something else. Can anyone shed light on this? I'm completely clueless about the US tax system

Your sponsor can get her IRS Transcripts - just get her to call 800 829 3676 and order them over the phone. That's what I asked my fiance to do. We are waiting on them now, hopefully it's not that long of a wait!

They are quite expensive though (around $50 each), so let her know that. I asked my fiance to get the last 3 years done because there are some threads here that say it is safe to have extra. Not sure if that is still the case with a co-sponsor though.

Check out www.irs.gov too

Good Luck!

Tax transcripts are FREE. Tax return COPIES are expensive, because they have to actually dig up the form you filed out of the archives. The transcript can be printed out from their systems in a matter of seconds. You can order over the phone (1-800-829-1040 and follow the prompts) and they'll mail them the same day, generally arriving within a week; or, if you need them faster, you can talk to an operator and get them faxed while you wait, or request them in person at a local IRS office. Whichever way you go, they are absolutely FREE.

That's good to know! And my co-sponsor can use those transcripts in place of the W-2, right?

hmmm maybe my fiance has ordered the wrong forms? Cr@p! I know he hasn't paid anything yet so maybe I just got my wires crossed. We already have his tax returns, but wanted the transcripts. Thanks for the heads up, I will look into it

Yes, transcripts are free, and they take 10-15 days. Photocopies can take up to 60 days and currently cost US$ 57.

Most people get them in a week or so if they order through the automated phone system.

Phew, just spoke to my fiance. He ordered the transcripts and said they were free and we should expect them soon. Lucky he's a smart cookie

Still, thanks for the advice guys
