What Tax Return Documents Are Required for Form I-864 Affidavit of Support

What Tax Forms Are Required for I-864?

The petitioner (U.S. citizen) is only required to provide the most recent year tax return document. However, you can provide the most recent three-year tax return documents if you think those will help prove your support.

You can provide IRS tax return forms along with your W2s, Form 1099, tax schedules (for self-employed sponsors) OR IRS tax transcripts. You can get your IRS transcripts from IRS’s website here. I think an IRS tax transcript is simpler with fewer pages, but it’s really up to you!

Good luck with your I-485 application!
