Need Advice about Last 3 years tax returns and W2

[aairt 0]

Hello everyone,

I've a question about Last 3 years tax return and W2. My wife only has last year tax return and also W2. What should we do? I just checked the IRS website and they said it takes up to 60 days to get copies of tax returns and W2 and cost us about $57 fee for each year. But no fee for copies of transcript. Should i send out my application with only last year tax return? Or with transcript? My I94 will be expired May 10th.

Thank you,

Thank you,

You don't need to order copies of the tax return from the IRS. USCIS will accept, and actually prefers, tax return transcripts. You can order a tax return transcript over the phone for free, and you'll get it within 10 working days - often less. She can order transcripts for the past three years at the same time, if she likes.

Get the transcripts. They can fax them or mail them and you get them in around a week or so.

And how about w2. Is that necessary to get copies ?

Thank you,

No the tax transcripts serve as a FULL report of the taxes you filed and W2's. They are all you need.
