Actually, no. The instructions say "irs transcripts". Plus, I had read about people that sent those and got accepted.

I have no idea what you read but the instructions are very clear on the subject: 

 

Quote

Federal Income Tax Return Information. You must provide either an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year...

it is always about Tax Return, not Tax Account.

 

Quote

...If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns. Do not include copies of these forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your Federal individual income tax returns rather than a photocopy unless you filed a joint income tax return with your spouse and are qualifying using only your income...

so, what part of Tax Return you didn't get?

 

anecdotal evidence about what others have done is irrelevant. There are "others" that were issued green cards due to an error, is that any argument for issuing yours?

 

You sent the wrong form against the instructions, you've got RE'd. You sent the one that was requested, it was approved. What's there to argue about? If you don't pay enough attention, expect more delays of your case.

Oh okay. So you’re unable to verify your identity to create the account? There’s no option to select “none of the above”? I would try calling them, otherwise they do send them by mail but goes without saying that causes delay and is more hassle. 

Yeah there is an option none of the above where they would normally send paper copied but theyre not doing that at all right now

Per form I-864 instructions:

You must provide either an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transcript or a photocopy... It doesn't mention the returns until the end.

Have you never made a mistake? And reading about others help. If not, these forums would be useless. Of course, then it's up to you to fill your case properly. 

And thank you. No more delays. My case was approved.

I have quoted instructions for you clear and bold before:

It mentions about TAX RETURNS at the very beginning, not the end.

 

We all make mistakes and forums are for help. The problem is when someone comes and blames everyone or everything around (it's the form, instructions, NVC, USCIS, they, them etc) not him/herself for the mistakes made.

 

I was trying to help you understand where was your mistake, it was in reading and comprehending clear instructions. Obviously, you didn't get that part. Some people just don't want to be helped.

 

Congrats on case being approved, but with that kind of attitude (and eye for details) you can surely expect issues filing other legal forms in the future. Just saying. Moving on.

Yeah. I made a mistake, got a RFE, learned from it. I was just trying to help OP see if they made the same mistake. And as such, I don't expect to make mistakes like these in the future because I learned from it. No need to be so patronizing, Mr. Perfect. Good luck.

The issue is that I don't have any of the accounts required to create an account. There are options like CC (non Amex), student loan account, mortgage account, etc.

 

I already filed my taxes but they weren't processed by the IRS yet so assuming they would not have the transcripts for 2019

Yup, this is an ongoing problem right now. The easiest way to obtain your tax return transcript is to download it on the IRS website. However, for people who cannot register on the website (e.g. those who filed using a foreign address or do not possess a credit card, US cell phone etc.) there currently is no easy way of obtaining a transcript, since the IRS is not currently mailing these out.

I don't know if this helps anyone, but I was stuck waiting for a transcript from the irs I got feed up and contacted h and r block (franchise). Paid 40 dollars had my transcript the next afternoon.

We were already told we aren't eligible for for "EZ" form, which I believe was incorrect too (we poured through the form info and saw nothing that would disqualify us) but they didn't tell us why and I thought it would be easier to just do the regular I-864 than trying to argue with them.

 

 

They're just incompetent.  We had the same issue, along with them rejecting our police certificate twice before finally accepting it.  Just fill out the one they think they want.

The transcripts are free.. you just need to create an account. 

Yes they are, but credit card accounts and other identifiers are used to confirm taxpayer identity online.

Yes, I figured out what he was saying in the subsequent posts.
