what exactly did you send?

 

You can download your tax transcripts (which is better than w2s or printed off tax returns) free from the IRS website.

 

For specific tax advice, ask a tax attorney.

When you file your tax returns (or your accountant does), there are amounts that go into boxes  (or lines) on the 1040 (or 1040EZ) form.  There are often lots of pages that "compute" the numbers that go into certain lines.  Your "tax return" consists of all these pages, plus all the forms that talk about your income.  For people who work at jobs, it is the "W-2" form that gives a summary of everything earned or withheld for the year.  The 1099 form details any bank interest or investment interest earned.

 

A "Tax Transcript" is simply a summary of ALL these pages.  It will have your Social Security Numbers (part blanked out for security), how you filed (Married, Filing Jointly; Married, Filing Separately; Single; or Head of Household), and the amount from each line on your return.  It proves THAT you filed, WHO filed,  HOW you filed, and what the numbers were.  This is why a "Tax Transcript" is valuable in the immigration process.  Submitting the "Tax Return" just shows that you filled out a form.  Submitting the "Tax Transcripts" shows data from the IRS itself.

 

If you go to www.irs.gov, you, or your spouse should be able to download your "Tax Transcripts" (Do not choose "Tax Accounts").  Or, you can fill out a form and they will MAIL you copies of your Tax Transcripts.  I hope this explanation helps you.

Yes, "Tax Return Transcripts" are what you want to send to USCIS.  They will come pretty quickly, which is great.  If you would be so kind as to give us the exact wording of your RFE, we would be able to see if the tax transcripts will completely satisfy them.

 

I also could not get mine online and had to request mine by mail.  It's ok.

 

Please tell us the exact words from your RFE so we can help you the best.

 

Thank you!  Sukie in NY

It says "good faith marriage, insufficient evidence" 

Here what does it say "the 2016 joint income tax return you submitted is incomplete,  is not accompanied by the required attachments and schedules,  and there is no indication it was actually filed. Further, it was not accompanied by the signature page" 

So when I get those forms in the mail where should I sign?

You will not need to sign the Tax Transcripts.  They stand alone.

 

Good Luck!
