CPA letter of self employment needed?
Answer:
I am self employed as well. this is a request that the average CPA completes a few times per month. I need one almost every month, and I just call my CPA and ask them to send a letter to me or the lender directly. If you are self employed you probably already have a CPA, so this should be a snap. Most CPA s charge nothing for this if you use them for your regular tax filing, etc.
Some lenders will allow you to submit the actual returns in lieu on the actual letter.
If not, your best bet it to just call a local CPA in the phonebook and ask if they can prepare the letter for you based on you bringing in your previous returns. It will be tough, but offer to compensate them for their time and ask them if they will do your returns going forward.
you should be able to get it from the person who does your taxes. If not possible a copy of your past tax returns showing self employment income. I had to do this too
