You should have filed a tax return for the years you worked, so I highly recommend you speak with an Accountant regarding that issue.
You should not submit your mother's tax returns, since she has nothing to do with the case & is not a co-sponsor.
As far as your current annual income goes, you should put the amount that you estimate to earn in 2014.
