    Bank statements showing regular deposits. Tax returns. 1099s. You have some type of documentation showing how you get paid whether it’s cash or check or electronic payments. Credit card records. Whatever applies.

    My self-employment income is from eBay. My bank statement shows weekly deposits and I have my 1099 and tax return from last year to document my earnings.

    * Despite the high cost of living, it remains very popular.
    * Why should I pay for my daughter's education when she already knows everything?
    * There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going.

      I'm assuming you pay taxes right?
      There should be proof of income there on your tax forms

        Form an LLC and you work for it, you are the only employee.

        The LLC issue invoices and have the payments received. That is you're gross sales.

        The LLC makes all of your operating charges, cleaning supplies, chain saws, dental instruments, guitar strings.

        The LLC issues you a paycheck.

        You now have a paystub and a company of one.

        *Ps I am probably not the best source of good information on this, but that makes sense to me.

          Probably effective but unnecessary.

            I'm also self-employed and receive 1099s from my clients each year, proving my income. If you send invoices, you can also use those as proof.
