If they need past proof of taxes then you might have to tap into your business funds and have an accountant handle the last 3 years of payroll you "forgot" to take care of. The more cash you have at your disposal the higher you can claim your income was/is. If your business funds get tight you can always invest in your own company with that money it's not like its all going to be taxed.

$1200 in taxes and a nice house or $1200/mo to some landlord forever
