Hello, I'm a natural born citizen born and raised in Puerto Rico. I don't have any federal taxes reports since I don't fill those, will it be a problem if I upload my local Puerto Rico (planillas) tax reports? (Including W2, that I do have in case they ask)

That you live in Puerto Rico and were born there, is all the explanation you need for not filing a US Federal Tax return.  Your tax returns are about the past, so the real thing you need is evidence of your current income, like a pay stub or employer letter.  It won't hurt to include information from or a copy of the latest return you have though.

Hi again, regarding form I-864, part 6, item 23.a I marked I haven't filed Federal Income Tax returns for each of the most recent years since I live in Puerto Rico. I still have my last 3 tax year transcripts since I fill them here (U.S. Territory). Anyway, I just noticed that the form asks for the total income of my last 3 years, shuld i leave them in blank or ad the total income by tax year?

Leave blank.  Indicate "live in Puerto Rico" hand written as the reason, but provide the most recent tax return transcript anyway.  What's most important is evidence of  current income I mentioned earlier.

Do I add the Handwritten reason on the bottom of the same PDF document, or do I add it separately to "Additional documents"?

You write the one sentence in the available space under where you would otherwise enter federal tax return numbers.
