I think they need an original signature. The forms themself don't matter.

I resigned the copies and didn't have a problem.

Your husband could go to his local IRS office and obtain tax transcripts for the last three years and send you these. I have read that this is actually preferred over copies of the tax return because it is the official information from the IRS.

lol you know nothing about American Taxes.. so why are you stressing.. trust your husband's solution to what is needed. The pay stub that were used to file the return will also be needed. etc.

There are two ways to file a tax return in the US. One way is to fill out all of the necessary forms and send them to the IRS, along with any required supporting documents. This is called a "paper return". The other way is to file electronically by sending all of the necessary information to the IRS over the internet with a computer. This is called "eFile".

When someone files a paper return then the original is sent to the IRS. The most a taxpayer would have is a copy of that original return - IRS keeps the original.

When someone eFiles their return then the information is all sent electronically. There IS no original return. The most a taxpayer would have is a facsimile they produced that contained the same information that was sent electronically.

In either case, a taxpayer would not have their original income tax return. They would only have a copy. No US government agency would ever ask for your original tax return because they know you don't have it.
