I-864 tax transcripts - send one year or three?

[Stein 276]

If 2018 filed amount was $174,000 AGI should I send only that one or include prior years transcripts?

 

The reason I'm asking is if I do send prior years transcripts they would be higher than 2018 on my income as well as having my ex-wife's income so I think that I would have to send my W2 and and 1099's to show how much was my income and how much was ex-wife's income.  Is this correct?  My income would still be higher than 2018 for 2017, I think lower in 2016.  I'm not able to access them from Vietnam and waiting for snail mail authentication code to order IRS transcripts.

You only need to submit the most recent transcript, please read Part 6 / Line 23.b, it is optional to send 2nd and 3rd years. Good luck.

Only most recent tax transcript is required, I sent in employment verification letter and pay stubs from the last 6 months as well for proofs.

I know you only need one year, but once you get the code, get all three years just in case. At least if they ask you will have them and having them later at the interview wont hurt if they ask. One never knows these days and based on my past bad luck, I always get asked for more things.

Good luck with it!
