I have not filed my 2011 taxes just yet. If by chance my Fiance is able to schedule her K1 Interview before April 15, will I still need to provide 2011 tax filing or will the last 3 years suffice?

Does the US Embassy in Manila require originals of my 1040s as in stamped 'Received' copies or will photocopies of these be sufficient?

Best to obtain transcripts of your filed taxes. 2010 would be enough but another year or two is best. Get them free from IRS on line, by mail or phone. Sent by fax, mail or visit an IRS office.

Embassy in Manila website states they want your most recent tax return (1040), if you have not filed for 2011 then 2010 is your current return.

you should also be able to file an extension for 2011 which would give you until October to file and thus be able to use your 2010 tax return. Just include a copy of your extension request with your I-864 filing.

Bad advice, you've just unnecessarily complicated your case. If you can file by April 15, file.

Not according to the visa service company I am using. Americans are allowed to legally file for an extension without penalty as long as they have paid any owed estimated taxes. If the taxes have not been filed yet, then before April 15th you would not be required to provide it at the interview anyways, but the extension allows you to postpone filing, such as waiting for her to be approved so you can use her SSN to file as married. Yeah I know you can file with an ITN request but they are back logged during the busy tax season and you will not end up saving any time anyways.
