I'm self-employed, how do I go about writing a letter that verify my job and my income?

Form 1040-V is just a payment voucher. If you are self-employed, you should be filing Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ with your return. Go ahead and order transcripts for the last three years to see what was actually filed for those years. They are available free from the IRS.

Yeah I just found that out right now, my sister showed it to me right now..I have it. I didn't work 2009 so I will get the 2010 transcript. Then after I file the 2011, how long should I wait until I can call to request the 2011 tax transcript do you know? So since I didn't work 2009, which that would make up 3 years, do I just write a letter stating that I didn't work that year? I went to school from January to April for my massage therapy certificate 09, then didn't find anyone I want to work with or for, so I started my own business in summer 2010.

If you are self-employed, you try to minimize your tax liability. It is possible that you are not showing enough income to qualify, even though you made more that enough money. In order to get past that hurdle, some filers create false income tax returns showing sufficient income, and send copies of those with their immigration filings, hoping to qualify as a sponsor. That would be misrepresentation, and could get you in a lot of trouble, not just a denial if caught.

What you could do, that would be legal, is to file amended tax returns, or use income averaging, and pay any additional tax, fines, or interest.

Oh I got what u are saying, I wish I was eager and make $50K but I was kind of layback so I didn't make much...I just hope that after all the tax deduct I still have enough to show that I am above the poverty line for 2 people with the 2011 tax return. I make a little over 25k and don't claim any dependent although I do live with my parents and younger siblings right now. 2010, I make too little. It's too funny to even mention, okay under 4000, that's the net, the gross was like 7k something...cause I was new into the market...was slowly building my clientele...

You can only send what you have. If I remember right, once you file a return, it takes about a month for the transcript to be available. You can check right online, and it will tell you when the transcript is available.

Okay so since I don't have income tax for 2009, I only have 2010, will file 2011 soon, should i write a letter explain why i don't have 2009?

If I am not wrong, I think someone here says I need to send 3 years worth of income since I am self-employed? Or that's not true? 1 year is okay? If they really need years will am I in trouble?

Let me know..

You only need one year. Three years is better. That is a change since we filed.
