Paycheck Stubs/Proof of Income Help!

Trying to rent a apartment or house (for personal use, not hobby related) and need proof of income. What do I do? Is there a business or person who can help? Willing to pay/trade for services.
I also have an unconventional job where I don't have pay stubs or any regular proof of income (paid in cash). When I applied for the apartments I'm moving into they requested proof of income. I informed them that I had an unconventional job (could just say that you are self employed)and showed them bank statements from the past three months with deposits to prove I did have money coming in. As long as you can prove to them that you have money coming in regularly and it is at least 3x the rent (per month)you should be fine.
Also, this in Dallas, it could be different city to city/state to state.

I have a business and don't have paystubs. i generally have to show copies of the last 2 or 3 tax returns.
You can try filing IRS Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, or Form 4506T-EZ, Short Form Request for Individual Tax Return Transcript with the IRS. They usually have a 2 day turnaround.

These forms are usually used to confirm the income of a borrower during the processing of a loan application but I don't see why your landlord wouldn't accept it in your case.

Sucks when you don't pay taxes I bet.

Contact the IRS and they can help you with proof.

Be prepared to pay back taxes.

Reminds me of a loan I approved several years ago for a lady who worked at a strip club. Came into the office and the only way she could verify her income was to show the manager a wad of 1 dollar bills she'd earned the night before.
Her name was Elizabeth and several of those 1's were mine. She recognized me and I told the manager she was good for the loan. Bought a mobile home to live in. Instant underwriting!

Follow the same guidelines any other self employed person follows and you'll be fine.

Hire a CPA to assist you and be forthcoming with them that you're an escort. Escorting is not illegal and they will advise you on how to file and, more importantly, how to be fastidious with record keeping so you can deduct expenses and make it through an audit should one occur.

Don't try to take yourself off the grid and not file taxes, that's incredibly short sighted and foolish.
Spice it up is correct. A lot of ladies use the word "stripper" when Identifying their place of employment. They don't care what you do as long as they get their money.

The question was as follows:
what do i file taxes as? how would i file taxes on this money i make?

This was the response that I agreed to:

I never said you would not get audited nor how it will affect your DIF score because that is not what she asked about (re-read her question). I simply stated that a lot of ladies put their occupation as a stripper. As long as they are paying the correct amount of taxes that is due just as anyone else with a "real job," they won't have anything to worry about if they do get audited. Will they? As with any job you have, there is a chance you will be audited and your DIF score can change. However; that has nothing to do with the question that was asked.

YES, it ABSOLUTELY does make a difference to the IRS which occupation is listed on a tax return.

YES, the IRS ABSOLUTELY does need to know and ABSOLUTELY does care how you make your money.

NO, you MAY NOT be just fine just because you follow the same guidelines any other self employed person follows.

You are assuming that strippers or anyone else file accurate tax returns.

IRS assumes that the tax returns are inaccurate.

From my experience of getting a house (not for the hobby) the leasing agent had recommended me to go to the bank and have my "tips" notarized. I put down I was an Entertainer and that the club didn't consider me an employee.

It worked. But again, different states has different ways...

Hopes it helps....
