Work History

[Comrade424]

Just wanted to get a few opinions on a topic. When I was younger (15-19) I held a few part time jobs that paid cash and I never reported any income or paid taxes on the income. When I fill out my application and/or background report should I list these jobs? One of the part time jobs was delivering pizzas in one of the towns that I applied. It would be great to let them know that I know the streets like the back of my hand but I am worried that having not reported the income and not paying taxes on it will be a strike against me. Any and all opinions are welcomed. Thanks

Spill the beans. Better to air it out and explain it to them than hide it and have them potentiall find it during the BI then wonder why you didn't tell them. just my 2 cents

I'd list it. Highly doubt they will care seeing you were so young.

Absolutely, the Sheriff's department here wanted to know what your doing regardless, if you're unemployed they want the dates of which and even jobs that you had for ever so brief they want records of that as well. Even if you didn't report taxes they want the information. If its job history, basically they want it.

They'll find out if they want to, especially if you did pay taxes during the tenure. Most will pull a report from the social society admin which lists your entire reported work history from day 1.
