As mentioned.. bank statements and income tax returns are about the only way.
Brings back memories of buying my house in the Spring of 1997. Before 1994, I worked a normal 9-5 job. 1995 had been virtually no income for me..living off savings. Then in 1996 the income was crazy compared to 1994. I formed an S-Corp in early 1997, but when I went to get a home loan (my CPA advised against just paying cash at the time), the mortgage company wanted 3 years worth of bank statements.
I can still remember the loan officer shaking his head and asking me if he could get in on the action.
Oh and.. take care of your taxes. Working as an accountant for 13 years prior to my site, if you're living and doing business in the US and want to sleep at night.. it's the best way. It will come back to haunt you.
