I was self employed for the past 3 years and have my tax transcripts for those years but dont have any qualifying "evidence of income". I am currently(2019) unemployed but plan on getting a job ASAP when we get to the USA. We have all the necessary supporting documents for our joint sponsor so we are ok there.  Is "evidence of income" a requirement for petitioners with a joint sponsor?

Your joint sponsor will show evidence of current income.  If you have zero current income, there is nothing to evidence in terms of income, but you still provide an I-864.

Thanks so "evidence of income" is not needed for past tax returns, only for current income?

Your tax return IS evidence of PAST income or lack of past income.  Only if you are currently self employed would "current income" come from a tax return.  If you claimed income on a tax return, that's all the evidence of "past income" that is needed.
