Send income tax return if you filed one regardless if you are self employed or not. It's one proof of income

If they ask for it in packet 3, then yes. While there's the "over all" rules for I-134, there are also rules that the consulates have. If the consulate asks for it, it's better to have it.

Remember, there's nothing wrong with having too much info, the worst that will happen is that they don't take the paper because they don't ask for it, but you want to be prepared in the case that they do ask for it, if it says in packet 3 to have it, I'd have it.

Always follow the instructions from your consulate over the generic I-134 instructions. The I-134 is used for more than just the K-1 visa, and for the K-1, most consulates want to see the most recent tax return.

This is what the FAM says about taxes for the I-134 > http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86988.pdf

f. To substantiate the information regarding income and resources, the sponsor should attach to the affidavit a copy of the latest Federal income tax return filed prior to the signing of the Form I-134, including all supporting schedules. If you determine that the tax return and/or additional evidence in the file do not establish the sponsor's financial ability to carry out the commitment toward the immigrant for what might be an indefinite period of time, or there is a specific reason (other than the passage of time) to question the veracity of the income stated on the Form I-134 or the accompanying document(s), you should request additional evidence (i.e., statement from an employer showing the sponsor's salary and the length and permanency of employment, recent pay statements, or other financial data).

Honestly I dont know how to answer this one... As I dont have a tax return due to my income status and over half of it being tax exempt in the states and state I live in. I am hoping that my statements of income from the two sources(VA and SSDI) will be enough. I though would try the latest and also if remember right it says to attach statements from your banks and like too. So it should all be stated with the deposits that you will have enough. Least that is what I am hoping for my k-1 also :~

Provide proof of your non-taxable income through benefits letters, 1099s and bank statements showing how much is deposited each month. Make a statement that did you not file because you were not required to as the bulk of your income is non-taxable so you were below the income filing threshold.
