Insurance Claim -self employed?

Question

How can I prove that I am self-employed to the insurance company? I am a wedding planner part-time and I lost out on a job due to my auto injury? The insurance company is asking for check stubs, how can I get a check stub and this is not my steady job?

Answer 1

Give the the last 3- 5 years W-2's. (tax forms)

However, if you did not report the income to the government or you claimed the business was a loss (i.e. - you did not make any money) -- don't expect the insurance company to pay you. (Tax evasion has it's down side).

Answer 2

You give them a copy of last year's tax return.  

If you didn't declare the income on your tax return, it doesn't count.

Answer 3

~~Self employed must file certain tax forms. You would need to show this to them to prove your self employment. I can't remember the tax form, but if you look through your forms from last year, you'll see it in there.~~
