That really depends on the Trustee in your case and the local rules of your jurisdiction, but generally profit and loss statements supported by prior years' tax returns and bank account deposit statements will suffice.

The usual verification (in the Northern District of California) is the most recent 1040 with Schedule C and a P&L. But it depends on what the Chapter 13 trustee wants to see in each individual case.

Bankruptcy Law office of Bill Rubendall | William M. Rubendall
A self employed person with regular income is eligible to file chapter 13. You will need a profit and loss statement and proof of income for the six months prior to filing. There are forms called a "business examination" which also need to be completed and provided to the chapter 13 trustee.

Bird & VanDyke, Inc. | David VanDyke
You will be required to verify your income with a business profit and loss statement that must be attached to schedules I and J when filing. I would not advise anyone to do this without an attorney as this could drastically effect your plan viability and plan payments.

Harkess and Salter, LLC | Stephen Harkess
In most cases, no one will seek income verification after the Chapter 13 plan is confirmed. As long as you earn enough to keep up with your plan payments you can do anything you want.

Ashman Law Office | Glen Edward Ashman
This sounds like you are trying to do a Chapter 13 pro se. Such cases almost always fail. Self-employed cases are the hardest and they may need more tweaks along the way. A good lawyer will know what to provide a trustee and when to best process your case. Seek counsel.
