How do I show proof of income for rental property if I earn my money through unconventional means?

You need to talk with your landlord and ask them what they will accept. If you can not produce proof that will satisfy them then you can not rent. Most would want your employer to sign something or a w-2 or 1099 or a copy of a tax return.

unconventional means? if your income is illegal, IRS still wants you to report it and by doing so you have tax returns you can provide to show your income as requested

you better be reporting that income on your tax return or forget it

Unconventional. Hmmm. Does that mean through "illegal" means? How do you suppose that is going to work?

Most self employed people need to show a few years tax returns to prove income. Tax fraud like working and not declaring income to pay your taxes isn't likely to help you with anything.

Income declared on a tax return is considered valid income...if you made it and did not declare it, then it is not income.

Tax return.

You might be paid in a manner you consider unconventional. Most call this type of payment under the table if you are employed by an employer.

If you are self employed, you would receive some form of document by whomever use your services or products so they arr able to prove you were paid and would not have reason to sue them or come back for additional
payments.



It matters not the method in which you are paid, it is your responsibility to report any income you earn to the IRS by filing income tax for the years you work and pay your income tax on this money.

If you have done what you are required to do, you would have filed income tax returns to prove you legally earn money.

Normally individuals would deposit their money in some type of banking institution. If this is the case you would have consist deposits to your banking institution again proving you have earnings and by making a deposit in your banking institution, most landlords or property managers would accept your bank statements as proof of income.

Most landlord and property managers would want to use the standard method of proving your income by
requiring pay stubs, income taxes and W-2 forms. Some would not deviate from this tried and proven method.

These type landlords and property managers do not and would not use alternative income documents as proof of income. With today's technology, fraud is too easy.

I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

unconventional means??? I'm assuming you are not reporting it legally. Sorry, but if you want to do things "unconventional" (IE ILLEGAL), you can't come back and play the victim.

bank statements, tax returns

That will be hard. I have to see proof of income and if you are selling drugs, I don't want you.

yeah
