Do self employed petitioners need tax transcripts?

Since their tax returns do not have W2s.

I dont kniw for sure but it doesnt hurt. They take less than a week to order and are free.

I filed as business owner, and I ordered transcripts from the IRS. They are free and arrive in less than a week and the embassies prefer them over tax return filing,

Transcripts are not required, but are usually the simplest way to satisfy the requirement to provide a copy of one's tax return. The alternative would be to include the 1040 + all W-2s/1099s/and other schedules showing one's income.

you can walk into any IRS office and receive transcripts the same day as long as they have been processed

How many years did you submit?

[Mmagic 127]

With my K1 petition I filed 3 and for AOS I filed 2017 and 2016 only. You can file last two years and it should be fine.
