Here are some of the most common documents for proof of income. Remember that in order to get the subsidy (tax break) for your health plan these documents must:
- Include your full name and paint a clear picture of your yearly income estimate
- Match the income you stated on your application. So if you stated an income estimate of $2000 a month, make sure your document confirms you can earn very close to $2000 a month (A document within 10% above or below the income you stated will be accepted).
- Pay stub (not screenshots from an app) - must include:
- Your full name or contain other kinds of verifying information such as a social security number.
- Your income amount and frequency of pay
If paystubs are not usually emailed to you, you can contact the company you work with and request a PDF pay stub or a summary of earnings.
- Copy of most recent federal tax return (Form 1040)
- Wages and tax statements (such as W-2, 1099, 1099-MISC, or other forms displaying your income and tax information)
