I-134 confusion

My fiance is filling in the I-134 and going by the instuctions page it read that all that is required is a letter from his bank and one from his employer as supporting evidence..

It also states that if he is self-employed then the last tax return is required, he is not self employed.

So my question is:

Do we just file the letters from the bank and employer as it says on the instuction sheet or do we need to add tax return for the last year as well?

We also have a co-sponser. So will the same apply?

The co-sponsor has to provide everything that your fiance provides. The fiance and cosponsor only need to provide bank statements, employer letters, 2 recent pay stubs and W2s.

This is my understanding of the situation.

The I-134 is used in conjunction with many visa types. So the instructions are "general" and the requirements do vary from one embassy/consulate to another. London has a very detailed explanation of how to meet the public charge requirement on their website. Read that and follow accordingly. It is vastly different than most other US embassies.

It is embassy specific what will convince the officer that you will not become a public charge. What works in one, does not necessarily hold true for another.

LONDON--

One I-134 and income proof from the person with the money. Does not have to be fiancé.

Proof of income-- nothing specific required, as in you must have a tax return. They love employer letters and will approve on only that. Bring one additional proof if you are worried about it. (self-employed need a tax return because they wouldn't have employer letters, pay slips, and such.)

They have approved fiancés with only 100% poverty level income.

With some savings, the beneficiary can self-sponsor. No I-134 at all. Only proof of the UK person's assets.
