3 years of tax transcripts

[christiesalim 6]

For those of you that Adjusted status, Did you submit three years of tax transcripts or the required most recent tax transcript? I'm reading that current is required but it's better to send all three. Please share your experiences. Thank You!

I sent the past 3 years of mine and my mother's because she was our Cosponsor. I always say it's better to send more than enough than not enough

We sent 3 most recent tax returns, 6 recent pay stubs and letter of employment from my wife's employer. Better safe than sorry!

One is required, three is optional.

It depends on why you want to send all 3. If you are self-employed, then yes, I suggest to send all 3, as the taxes are the proof of income. If employed and your most recent year shows less income that normal, then showing past ones plus current income proof could be helpful. If your income was not great in the past, or your income has been steady, then send just the required recent year plus proof of current income, such as a letter from employer and/or most recent pay stubs. Current annual income is most important.

Thank you for the responses. I only sent in the required most recent tax transcript. My current and last years taxes are over the requirements.

I was a full time student in college the previous 2 years. I sent in a letter from my employer and the last eight months worth of pay stubs. Thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate it!

Just the last year's full return. No problem for us.

I only sent the most recent tax transcripts and it was perfectly fine.
