Which tax pages needed for NY unemployment 2019 proof of work deadline?

For the 2019 proof of work requirement, you should definitely submit your full 2019 tax return - including ALL schedules that were filed. At minimum, you need Form 1040 and Schedule C if you were self-employed. If you were a W-2 employee, include your W-2 forms too. As for submitting both tax returns AND pay stubs - yes, that's actually a good strategy. The more documentation you provide, the better your chances of approval. Just make sure everything you upload is clear and readable.

same boat here, got the notice yesterday. annoying they wait til the last minute to ask for this stuff!

When I submitted mine last month, I sent EVERYTHING I could find - all tax pages, W2s, even my last paystub from 2019. I was so worried they'd deny me! The system let me upload multiple files though. Just make sure none of your files exceed the size limit (I think it's 4MB per file?). I had to take pictures of some documents with my phone because my scanner wasn't working.

For the NY unemployment proof of work requirement, you need to submit the following tax documents from 2019: 1. Form 1040 (all pages) 2. Schedule 1 if applicable 3. Schedule C if you were self-employed 4. Schedule SE if you paid self-employment tax 5. Any W-2 forms They need these documents to verify your income sources and employment status. Including both tax documents AND pay stubs is actually recommended by NYSDOL representatives. The system allows multiple uploads, so there's no downside to providing extra documentation.

No need to highlight or circle anything. The claims examiners know exactly what they're looking for on each form. Just make sure all pages are complete, clearly scanned/photographed, and that your name and SSN are visible. Also important: save your confirmation number after uploading! Take a screenshot of the confirmation page too. This is your proof that you submitted documents on time if there's ever a question later.

i tried uploading my stuff yesterday but the website kept crashing. anyone else having this problem?? how are we supposed to meet the deadline if their system doesn't even work right??

After struggling for DAYS to get through on the phone to ask this exact question, I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get connected to an actual NYSDOL agent in about 20 minutes. The agent told me that for the 2019 proof of work, they specifically need ALL pages of Form 1040 plus any schedules that show your income. For W-2 employees, they also want to see your W-2 forms. If you're also having trouble reaching someone by phone to get answers before the deadline, check out their demo video: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE - it saved me hours of redial frustration. The agent I spoke with confirmed that submitting both tax documents and pay stubs is actually the safest approach.

GUYS I'M FREAKING OUT!! I just realized I can't find my complete 2019 tax return anywhere!!! I only have the summary page my accountant gave me. What do I do??? Will they accept bank statements showing my deposits from work???

Update: I just submitted all my documents! I ended up sending the full 1040 with all schedules, plus my W-2s, and several pay stubs from different parts of 2019. The upload process was actually easier than I expected. Thanks everyone for the help!

I just got the confirmation number on the screen - no email. I took a screenshot just to be safe. Maybe check your spam folder though?
