1. Depends on the CO, some asks for ITR (one of my friends had this experience recently lang din) so if you have it just attach it to your application. Random lang yung inattach niya, just to prove na paid yung employment.
2. Once you have lodged your visa, you can attach those forms to your application through your immi account. Sa immi account under your name nakalagay dun yung "attach documents" button dun ka po magaattach. Nakaspecify naman po run kaya di kayo malilito. Godbless.

FYI. I also received an email being notified last June 14 that "190 has a limited number of places left for the 2015-2016 program. This means processing times will be longer and that once the remaining places are used, the Department cannot grant further visas in this category during this program year."
But the good news is 2015-2017 program will be next month. Kaya in God's perfect time (July month) most ng 190 maiinvite and ma-grant ng visa
