What Employment Verification Requires

HR platforms, background check companies, and lenders need reliable income and employment data. IRS records are the gold standard.

W-2 Income Verification

Confirm employer name, wages, and withholdings directly from IRS Wage & Income transcripts. Covers current and prior-year W-2s.

1099 Contractor Income

Verify 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, and 1099-K income for self-employed individuals and gig workers. See total non-employee compensation by payer.

Multi-Year History

Access up to 10 years of wage and income records to build a complete employment and income history for any individual.

Employer Detection

Automatically identify employers from W-2 data, including EIN matching and employer name normalization across tax years.

PEO Flagging

Detect when a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is the W-2 employer of record, so you know the true hiring entity.

Structured Data

Parsed, structured JSON responses with employer details, income amounts, and filing metadata — no PDF scraping required.

More Reliable Than VOE

IRS records cannot be fabricated. Eliminate the risk of fraudulent pay stubs or unresponsive employer HR departments.
