Tax Transcript Question

[Chanel H. 41]

Hi everyone, I am a dual US/Australian citizen who is sponsoring my Aussie husband. I am reading the instructions for the I-864 and on page 8 it says "You must provide either an IRS transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most
recent tax year." My question is what is the most recent tax year? I have my tax transcript from 2020 but my 2021 tax transcript is not ready yet because we had to file an extension when I did my taxes this year (bad thing to do on the year you are immigrating, I know, but we live overseas and this is as soon as my US accountant could do it). 

 

Can I submit my 2020 tax transcript or should I wait until the 2021 tax transcript is available? Should I submit the I-864 now and upload the 2021 tax transcript when it becomes available? I am not using income to meet the 125% guideline, if that matters, we are using assets instead.

 

Thank you for your input and good luck to everyone!

Most recent right now is 2021.

Got it. Do you think the transcripts become available pretty quick after filing?
