As far as joint sponsor form I-864 is concerned,  do i have to upload completed form along with his tax documents in a single file?

Information from three tax years is required.  If things will be pretty much the same, in terms of job and income, just including the latest return is probably fine.  Sending the other two transcripts won't hurt anything.  You need them to get the information from them anyway.

Current year taxes. If your interview is later and there is a new tax file make sure you upload that tax file also and take it to Embassy.

Only MOST recent tax year is required.

 

" If you completed Form I-864, I-864A, or I-864EZ submit an IRS tax transcript from the most recent tax year, which NVC can process more efficiently than a copy of a tax return.  Alternatively, you may submit a copy of a tax return from the most recent tax year.  "

Never DO-DO when DO will DO.

I think you misread. The information from all 3 years is required. This is listed on the I-864. A copy (i.e. transcript) is only required for the most recent year.

You lined out my correct statement that information from three tax years is required.  The affidavit asks for information from three years.  
Information from is not equal to copy of return is required.  I meant exactly what I said and it is correct.  Only one tax return copy or transcript (the latest) is required at the NVC stage, but a Consular Officer can require seeing all three.  They usually don't if the sponsor has the same employer or business and similar or rising income stated in the affidavit of support "IN THE SECTION REQUIRING INFORMATION FROM..." three tax returns.
