It depends on what type of income you had and how you made your money. Look for something anything that can help prove your income.
Do you have any kind of records? For example, if you deposited cash or checks into a bank account or online app, you might have monthly statements.
Can get a letter or confirmation from people who paid you confirming what they paid?
If you were running a business, do you have any receipts or records of supplies and expenses? That would show you spent at least that much money.
Lastly, the IRS sometimes uses a lifestyle audit when people don’t report income. You can use a similar argument to prove your income. Show how much it costs you to live each month. That means you’d have to make at least that much money to support yourself.
None of this is proof and the Franchise Tax Board may reject everything. But without receipts, you don’t have many options.
