Hey when they ask for tax returns do they mean tax return transcripts or the W2 forms? My wife made zero dollars in income in 2018 both in the US and overseas as she has been living with me for the past 7 months. Does she still need to file her taxes while overseas and submit that during the interview?

Transcripts are best.  Most consulates want the entire return not just w2s but it can vary by interviewing location

My wife only has her W2 forms for 2017 and its not possible to download the entire tax return from the IRS unless she has a working US phone number. Would the 2018 taxes showing she made no income for the year along with the tax return transcripts of our joint sponsor be sufficient?

Zero income requires no evidence

Would a written statement from my wife stating she made zero income in 2018 while in the US and abroad be sufficient? She will be present with me during the interview. She has been with me since August 2nd 2018 and made no income while she was in the US the first half of 2018.
