Self-Employed Income

Learn how Two Dots verifies income for self-employed applicants - including required documents, acceptable verification methods, and what we do not accept.

Written by Georges B.

Who is considered self-employed

Self-employed applicants are individuals who operate their own business or work independently, rather than being employed by another organization.

Required documents

Two Dots policy requires self-employed applicants to either provide one of the following as official proof of income:

  • Tax Transcript

  • Bank Linking or 3 months of Bank Statements

Tax Transcripts:

One of the following must be downloaded directly from the IRS website:

  • Record of Account Transcript

  • Account Transcript

  • Tax Return Transcript

Bank Statements / Bank Linking:

Applicants may verify income using average monthly deposits and assets in their bank account.

  • Business bank statements are accepted for applicants who have indicated that they own or operate a business. Personal bank statements are also accepted.

  • A small number of properties do not accept business bank statements. If you are unsure, check with your leasing agent.

  • Applicants must provide recent PDF bank statements downloaded directly from their bank’s website – or securely link their bank account through the Two Dots portal for verification.
