Re filling out the form:I think he is the only one who needs to fill it out unless he needs to include her income to meet the guideline amount. We did not have a cosponsor because my income is enough, so I'm not really sure how this works, but there was something in the directions about filling out an additional form (I-864A, maybe?) if relying on the income of other household members to meet the required income level.

Re copies of the cosponsor tax return: The simplest thing for you to do is send a tax transcript. Your in-laws can request this from the IRS for free. There is a link somewhere on VJ for how to do that.

If you send a photocopy of his return, you have to send copies of every document showing income reported---that means any schedules they filed, BOTH W2s (that is assuming she has an income; she might not), and any 1099 forms (which they really should keep records of for 7 years anyway).

The other option is to order a tax transcript from the IRS. That's what most people on here do because it is easier. One person on here had the problem of requesting it and not getting the requested transcripts from them soon enough, however. Most people have not had a problem and found it very easy to do.

Re employment letter and pay stubs:That can probably be from your father-in-law only, assuming that his income standing alone is enough to meet the amount needed to cosponsor. The form does not say this type of evidence is required, but they may ask for it later on.

It's a form you get from your bank showing interest income or from any stock brokerage or funds manager showing other kinds of investment income (dividends, capital gains, interest, etc). You don't actually submit it with your tax return (I think if it's above a certain amount you do?) but you are supposed to keep them for 7 years so you have it in case you are audited. Has he seen the directions for the form? I ask because if I were not familiar with this process and someone needed copies of my tax return for something (financial aid for a child's college tuition or something), I would probably assume they only meant what I sent to the IRS (ie, return, schedules, and W2).

This probably will make more sense for your in-laws since they are used to filing US taxes. The directions are fairly straightforward, but of course if you have no clue what randomly numbered forms are because you've never filed a US tax return, not so much. Before going through this process, I sure couldn't have told you what an I-134 or DS-3025 was.
