I-864 Affidavit of Support - Required documents for taxes

The instructions seem to have a conflict here or I'm reading too much into it.

My wife has her interview at the embassy this week and had a few questions I was hoping to get some clarification on for the i-864.

The instructions seem to have a conflict here or i'm reading too much into it.

Tax Returns vs Transcript:

Here it says either a transcript or the return (with w-2's etc.) with the transcript being preferred for the most recent tax year.

Item Numbers 23.a. - 25. Federal Income Tax Return Information. You must provide either an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year. If you believe additional returns may help you to establish your ability to maintain sufficient income, you may submit transcripts or photocopies of your Federal individual income tax returns for the three most recent years.

And then at the bottom for the checklist it says under "For ALL Sponsors" that it must be the income tax return with w-2's etc, with no mention of a a transcript in lieu of the entire return.

So my questions on this part

  1. Is the transcript sufficient?
  2. I haven't filed my 2020 returns yet, since they are not due til May and i'll be filing an extension i assume my 2019 tax transcripts will suffice? I also printed my 2020 W-2's to show reported income and taxes withheld.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
