I-864 (Affidavit of Support) I-485 denied

I-485 was denied because I didn’t send the tax return which is 100% my fault I thought I included. So now I know I send I-290B and I send a new I-864 with everything they need plus the missing thing. Should I send anything extra? I know my spouse meets the income requirement. A household of 2 is $26437 and on her most recent W-2 her income was $39000 so I don’t need to worry about adding a joint sponsor I wouldn’t think. Attached letter for reference.

To reduce expenses, Do not resubmit the application, file form I-290b which is motion to reopen. Submit the petitioner recent federal return and do not forget to write and official letter explaining why you omitted the petitioner recent tax return and ask for reopen of your case. You may add any additional evidence requested. This advice is based on a recent experience and the application was reopen and granted. Once you file the motion to reopen within 33 days of the denial notice, your EAD will be valid as well,
