Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself: How to Generate a Self-Employed Pay Stub

While being self-employed is great for a lot of reasons, you still run into some issues when it comes to proving your income and dealing with taxes.

In cases when an organization needs proof of your income, having a self-employed pay stub can come in really handy. It’s not too difficult to get your own pay stubs, and we’ve compiled a brief guide to help you out.

It’s easy to assume that getting your own pay stub requires you to go through a bureaucratic agency, spend long hours writing down financial information, and more. Luckily, though, it’s actually easy.

In a lot of cases, banks, renters, and credit card companies require that you have physical proof of your income. As much as you want to pull out your phone and show them your payment history, they’ll won’t settle until you have a piece of paper to give them.

This goes for other things as well. When it comes to your self-employment taxes, you need to fill out things like 1099s and W2s. It’s notalways easy to get those, depending on your industry.

The more employees that you have working under you, the less useful these online services are.
