After you file

I'm a dope and didn't sign my original return. I got a form back from the IRS requesting the signature and to "explain the source of earned income you used to compute your earned income credit" and to attach a W-2 or 1099 to support it.

 

I get paid via PayPal, which doesn't issue a 1099 to anyone who made less than $20,000 (like me). When I pulled my transaction history to use as my proof, I realized that I reported my income wrong. Not by much, but I figured I should correct it?

 

If not, how should I prove my income? PayPal doesn't match my original return. (And thank you for the help!)
