H4 And I-485 Filling Issue

ALL Gurus ,
Please advise as visa is current now.
I came on B1/B2 visitor visa and later converted to L1 while in USA by Intra company Transfer and in the mean time my wife got a job on H1 .
I changed my visa to H4 and discontinued L1 after one year because of several difficulties to maintain L1. I was earning on L1 and filed tax jointly with wife and the work undertaken during my L1 were completed and paid in next two years while on H4 and filed taxes too.
My concerns are :
1) My wife is about to file I-485 , is tax return definitely required to send with I- 485 filling?
2) There is no column in any of the forms to express the income of H4 dependent.
3)Is this advisable to mention the Social security number of H4 dependent on I-485 forms as it is understood H4 never possess social security number?
4) Is this required to show that H4 earned income even after L1 was converted to H4?
5)Should I file my wife's separate Tax in year 2006 if required at the time of filling I-485 if Tax return is definitely needed?
6) Pay Stub ,W2 and letter from the employer is sufficient for I-485?
7) What are the repercussions if we do not mention L1 + Income of spouse of H-1 and proceed with principal applicant's dependent as H4 spouse while filling I485 ?
8) Or we file I-485 at this time for Principal applicant and one child and do not mention the dependent spouse now to get the Green card at least for the principal applicant?
I will appreciate your valuable advice to proceed further wisely.
Thanks

That's OK.

3)Is this advisable to mention the Social security number of H4 dependent on I-485 forms as it is understood H4 never possess social security number?

There are plenty of H-4s with an SSN. If you have one, put it on the forms.

4) Is this required to show that H4 earned income even after L1 was converted to H4?

Tell us more about this income. Was it earned, or passive? Did you get a W-2, or something else? Why did it take so long to get paid?

5)Should I file my wife's separate Tax in year 2006 if required at the time of filling I-485 if Tax return is definitely needed?

Pardon? Your wife and you should have already filed taxes for 2006, or at the very least filed an extension.

Pay Stub ,W2 and letter from the employer is sufficient for I-485?

Just the employer letter.

8) Or we file I-485 at this time for Principal applicant and one child and do not mention the dependent spouse now to get the Green card at least for the principal applicant?

Just file the I-485 for everyone.
