Tax Account Transcript or Tax Return Transcript?

Hi everyone, we are working on CR1 visa for my husband and having this minor question regarding tax transcript.
We both understand the fact that we are supposed to bring tax transcripts as affidavit support evidence and the differences between tax account transcript and tax return transcript.
The question is: which one should we bring? account transcript (less pages with basic info.) or tax return transcript (more pages with more details)? or either one is OK?
We already have account transcripts in hand, just want to make sure if its necessary for us to get tax return transcript as well.
Thanks in advance!

You should bring the tax transcript. You can tall the IRS line and have them faxed to you, provided it is a personal fax only accessible to you for privacy and confidentiality. I am not sure where you got the account transcript, I would be concerned with an official transcript from IRS. best wishes to you.

To clarify, we got account transcripts from local IRS office(walk-in services) by telling them its for immigration application. In this case, I suppose it is official transcript from IRS. Ive been told about tax transcripts all the time, but there are really two kinds of tax transcripts:tax account transcript and tax return transcripts. IRS explains the differences pretty clear as well (see this link - http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/...105370,00.html ). But Im just not sure if it does matter to bring THE VERY one out of two or it really doesnt matter which as long as it shows adjusted gross income and stuff for affidavit support purposes.
Anyone?

Did you pay for the tax account transcript or they were free? You should take the tax transcript from the IRS office, they should suffice in meeting USCIS requirements, especially for period being requested.
