I want to file 2015 taxes but I was undocumented at the time, and paid entirely in cash tips. I kept a record of my income but cannot get pay stubs or a W2. My old employer will not be able to offer assistance.

    Please follow the instructions below to report your cash income:

    • Click Federal Taxes -> Wages & Income and scroll down to Less Common Income
    • Go to the last selection, Miscellaneous Income and click Start
    • Go to the last option, Other reportable income and click Start
    • Proceed through the interview to enter your income.

    This amount should be included in Line 21, Other Income on your 1040.
