Transcript should ok. Looks like your instructions are only asking for the recent tax year, however, you may want to hedge your bet and go for the last 3 years, it's up to you.

The most recent tax year is 2009 but I have read that they have asked specifically for 2010. Seeing as you may have filed taxes for 2010 you can send that. Send the tax account letter or the actual 1040 copy.

Just send what they ask for. If they wanted the last three years they would have. Who is the tax return for?

If you just sent them the W2s then that is probably why you got the RFE. The W2 doesn't prove that you've actually Filed your taxes - it just shows how much you have been paid and from which employers, and whether or not taxes have been automatically taken out of your salary.

If they only said "The most recent" tax return, then 2010 return should be sufficient.

Proof of filing your tax returns not required.

FWIW, Sending in copies of tax forms are not proof of filing either... The USCIS does not care if you have filed your taxes... they want an indication of your TOTAL income.

A W-2 alone may not show that you also have a small business that is losing as much or more than the W-2 income.

YMMV

Beg to differ. INA 213A, paragraph 6(A), requires a sponsor to submit tax returns as proof of income. Paragraph 6(B) permits them to accept only the most recent year's tax return instead of the three most recent years, at their discretion. For proof of filing, paragraph 6(A) also requires a written statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that the copies are certified copies of the filed return. That statement is in section 30.e of the contract portion of the I-864.

USCIS may not care whether the sponsor has filed a tax return in the same way that the IRS cares, but providing a copy of a filed tax return or an IRS transcript of that return is mandatory.
