Apply for AOS i need help with i-864 which tax transcript

[k212 0]

My wife wants to fill the I-864 for me and it says to add copy of your 3 years tax transcript, i would like to know if you can print the ones from IRS website, if the online copy is the same with the one they mail to you. and if she didn't file for tax in 2010 and 2011, what should we do about that. and we also have a joint sponsor too..

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, the online transcripts are the exact same as what the IRS sends you. If she didn't file then include a statement explaining why.

Include your tax returns. Also get three years of returns from your joint sponsor as well. The joint sponsor's returns are more important, so long as they exceed the minimum income needed.

You don't need to include your tax returns. Get a "tax return transcript" and it's the best because it's 2 pages max vs the entire return which includes w2, 1040s, 1099s, schedules, worksheets etc... So much easier.
