Tax transcripts

[Calene Marie 0]

I have my joint sponsor’s w-2, 1040 and 1099. Is that okay or the consular officer might look for tax transcript?

It should be okay, but note that transcripts

1) Include everything you need in one document (if you use tax return documents, you need the 1040, all W-2s and 1099s, and all schedules)

2) are the final record of what was submitted to the IRS 

3) are considerably shorter than full tax return forms

so it's almost always better to use transcripts
