SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME VERIFICATION LETTER TEMPLATE FAQ


What is a self-employment income verification letter?

A Self-Employment Income Verification Letter is a document written by a self-employed individual (or their accountant/bookkeeper) confirming business income for a specific period. It is often requested for rentals, mortgages, loans, insurance, or benefits.


What should be included in the letter?

Include: your business name, your role, how long you’ve been self-employed, the income period, gross and/or net income (as requested), and a list of documents that support the numbers (tax returns, bank statements, invoices). This template includes both “self-prepared” and “prepared by accountant” options.


Should you include gross or net income?

It depends on what the requesting party needs. Many landlords want gross monthly income; lenders often look at net income after expenses and tax returns. This template includes fields for both so you can match the request.


Do you need to attach documents?

Usually yes. A verification letter alone may not be enough. This template includes a checklist of common supporting documents to attach.


Can an accountant sign it instead?

Yes. Many institutions prefer a letter signed by a CPA, accountant, or tax preparer. This template includes an option for an accountant verification section.
