NEED ADVICE! I-864 Tax Return question

[Spinnors 0]

So, good news -- we got our NOA2.  But now we're trying to file the I-864.  My question is about the latest tax return.

 

I just filed my taxes recently (and it was by mail, since we were filing jointly for the first time and needed to request an ITIN for her).  The IRS hasn't entered it into their system (to get a Tax Transcript yet) -- it is estimated it might take months when filing by mail.

 

Should I submit my 1040 (and supporting schedules/W2's) as evidence, even though there's a possibility that the Tax Transcripts won't be entered into the system anytime soon?

 

Or should I submit last year's Tax Transcript instead?  Please no guesses  or opinions -- am needing 100%-confident advice and facts here.

Absolutely submit the complete tax return.  As you read instructions, pay attention to little words like "or" and interpret them literally.
