How to prove OnlyFans income

OnlyFans proof of income is three documents together: your platform earnings statements, bank deposits that match them, and a filed tax return that shows the same figures. There is no OnlyFans paystub, because there is no employer.

  • OnlyFans statements.

    Download each OnlyFans earnings statement from the statements area of your account, month by month; it shows gross earnings and payouts.

  • Bank records.

    The payout deposits in your account, which a landlord may accept on their own. The deposit description may show the payer’s legal name, so keep the matching platform statement with it and the landlord can connect the two.

  • The filed return.

    On a filed Form 1040, Schedule C shows the profit you signed for under penalty of perjury, and mortgage lenders calculate self employed income from it.

Call (866) 681-2140 with the request in front of you.

How we help creators prove income

  • The landlord wants paystubs.

    We put together the deposits and matching statements and add a CPA letter stating what they show.

  • The lender wants two years of returns you have not filed.

    We file the missing years first, then prepare the letter.

  • The lender asks for a profit and loss statement.

    We compile a year to date statement from your records.

  • Your deposits do not show the brand name.

    We match each deposit to its platform statement so the requester can see the source.

We assemble the documents a landlord or lender asks for, and we prepare the letter or statement that accompanies them.

What landlords and lenders ask for

A landlord asks for paystubs because the application form was written for employees; a self employed applicant gives bank deposits and platform statements as OnlyFans proof of income in their place.

Unfiled years are an obstacle to a mortgage even when the deposits prove the money.

How to track OnlyFans income month to month

  1. Open a bank account used only for OnlyFans payouts.

  2. Download the OnlyFans statement each month and file it with that month’s bank statement.

  3. Record gross earnings, platform fee and payout in one running sheet, so the year’s total matches the 1099-NEC when OnlyFans issues it.

  4. Keep the filed return with that year’s statements, so you hand over the three documents together when you apply.

What a CPA income verification letter can say

Factual information from records the CPA has seen: the source of the income, the period, and the amounts reported. Without additional procedures, the CPA does not state that the figures were verified and gives no assurance on their accuracy. The same is true of a profit and loss statement the CPA prepares.

A lender may ask for one of three letters: confirmation that you are self employed, confirmation of the income shown in your records, or an expense ratio letter. The letter accompanies the documents the mortgage program requires and puts a CPA’s name to what they show. It does not replace them.

Can a CPA prepare an OnlyFans income statement?

Yes. A lender or landlord may ask for a year to date profit and loss statement alongside the other documents. A CPA compiles the OnlyFans income statement from your platform statements and bank records under the AICPA compilation standard, and names the period and the records used.

What affects the fee for a CPA letter or income statement

The fee depends on:

  • which letter the requester asks for;
  • the period covered;
  • whether we prepared your returns, or must file missing years first;
  • the records you provide.
