Employment and Income. ‌ Original documentation verifying employment and income may include the following: • Verification of employment and income forms; • Paystubs; • Salary vouchers; • W-2 forms; • Tax returns; • Financial statements; • Compensation award letters; and • Other documents supporting income.
