I didn’t even wait for this request, I put tax returns of last 3 years, everything that can help has to be provided before they even ask for it.

 That can be tested via way of a company registar, which shows the legitimacy more accurately. Tax returns aren't connected with your employment anyway.

Just send in your 2 years of tax returns. It’s to prove you are not laundering money.
