USA: IR1, tax transcript submittal and minor addl tax question

By the time we will submit the packet with tax transcripts it will be really close to or in April 2016. I presume then they will want 2015 transcripts and not be happy with 2012-4?

The issue is I've no idea when the returns will be processed and transcripts available. I can file early and have the transcripts presumably in a few months.

But, my parents will co sponsor as I've now got too much cash over here now and tied up in a few ill liquid assets in US (recent purch from aunt)...Im ok, but its just insurance for a rubber stamp approval.

So, Ill need to wait on their tax guy to finish and submit their taxes for 2015 correct?

Short question ..... 2014 ok or 2015?! Sorry.

Next question, took a teaching job to break up the day mostly, the 40k is a nice offset. I will not have made enough to legally need to file taxes but need to for wife's visa.

I'm concerned about the income putting me into some taxable bracket with my interest and divs 1099 this year. But more worried they will ding me for ssi and whatever else. I'm filing under my us address. Anyway, that's still not the big issue.

Will the embassy when processing my paperwork in bkk care I don't have f.all six mos teachers wages on my return (expats exempt up to like 75k anyway filed properly)?

Thoughts?

Thanks.

OH! Can money here be listed on the forms as assets?
