As crazy cat said, the tax returns transcript is the correct one. However, depending upon your embassy, your unique financial situation, and so forth they may want additional evidence such as recent pay stubs, letter of employment,  and/or the "wages and income" transcript since it contains your W2 and 1099 data (which is usually required if you are submitting your actual tax returns instead of the tax transcript).

 

To be on the safe side, I am including my wages and income transcript, but not the other additional evidence based on my unique situation.

For the CR-1/IR-1 interview, whatever you uploaded to CEAC, the beneficiary is required to take to their interview. This is a minimum requirement. There might be consulate-specific requirements for the beneficiary. Inasmuch, as another VJ member mentioned, if you uploaded only a tax return transcript to CEAC and your documents were documentarily qualified, the consulate your spouse interviews at still might require a full tax return, proof of employment (letter from employer), paystubs, et cetera. If your spouse has not already, it would be a good idea to check the consulate's website for information on this, just to double and triple-check in preparation before walking in for the interview. 

Best of luck!
