I've been taking care of our farm for the last three years, cows, horses, pigs, and chickens ... building fence, barn repair, baling hay, and everything else it takes to run a farm, but you don't get a 1040 tax form for that, and that's what Prime wanted.

If any of that was included on your tax statements as write-offs then you would be able to prove you've been working. You also might ask Prime about other methods they will allow for you to prove what you've been doing.

I think what they're most concerned with is work ethic. They don't want people they feel are content sitting on the couch getting paid to do nothing. They want people who are motivated to work. I raise some animals and have a huge garden every year so I know you're out there working hard every day to take care of things. I think Prime would be happy to know that. The trouble is simply verifying it.

Normally they'll let you show notarized letters from people verifying what you've been doing. So possibly a combination of some sort of tax documents and notarized letters might get you in the door with Prime or any other company that wants to verify your work ethic.

Thanks, Brett for the heads up!

Hi all;

I have been a stay at home mom. I cannot show an income other than my husbands. How do Truck Companies view that?

Depends on how you filed taxes. If you filed jointly and him as head of household then he would have listed you as a homemaker or stay at home mom.

Same goes for if you filed separately so you could get earn income credit cause you did not make the minimum amount you would have listed yourself at stay at home mom or homemaker. Your tax forms or his will be the proof you need to explain what you have been doing the last 3 years.
