Not at that office, but I recently had my interview. I applied under the 5 years rule. I was only asked to show interview letter, Green Card, ID and Passport. 

I brought a copy of the taxes just in case, but I had already submitted them online, so they didn't ask for that, nor did they ask for the originals of birth and marriage certificates, etc.

In other words, what is mentioned in the interview letter seems to be enough.
