Is the Federal Tax Return sufficient for documenting an existing self-employment situation?
No. Self-employed families are required to submit the following documentation: • the Employment Verification form; • the Report of Self-Employment Earnings form; • copies of their most recent federal tax returns, including all applicable schedules; • a tax return transcript for their most recent federal tax returns; and • documentation verifying their self-employment business, such as copies of their business registration with the Department of Revenue, Doing Business As (DBA) certificate, required licenses, or certificate of incorporation.
