Can potential employers check your tax records to verify your employment history?

Answer 1

They won't check your tax record. But, your employment history will show up on your credit report. If you think there will be discrepancy, make sure to explain to the potential employer.

Answer 2

Although many employers are starting to check credit history as part of their background investigation, I have never heard of any employers asking to verify tax records. Credit history is usually checked for positions in financial institutions, or for security clearance in government jobs and law enforcement.

Remember, employers are usually only interested in your last 5 to 10 years of employment. I would work on trying to market yourself within the bounds of honesty. If you are trying to obtain a position in which you have no previous experience, I would tell your prospective employer of volunteer activities, personal research, or self-study in which you have learned the necessary skills. If you are trying to hide a not so good work history, then I would try to be honest about your mistakes and explain to the prospective employer what you have learned from them, and how you wish to change. If I were conducting an interview, I would be more impressed with honest answers than perceived perfection.

Answer 3

Background reports can range from a verification of an applicant's Social Security number to a detailed account of the potential employee's history and acquaintances. Here are some of the pieces of information that might be included in a background check. Note that many of these sources are public records created by government agencies.

Driving records
Vehicle registration
Credit records
Criminal records

Social Security no.
Education records
Court records
Workers' compensation

Bankruptcy
Character references
Neighbor interviews
Medical records (for some jobs and for future insurance)

Answer 4

They normally check employment history via credit check, not tax records.

Answer 5

I just tried https://webmd.im/verispy last year to see if I could Locate my birth-father. My bio father left me when I was 7, and has refused to be a part of my life since. I grew up with my bio Mother and Step-father. I have only ever talked to my biological father a couple times until now. All I knew of him personally when I conducted the search was his first name, last name, and the street address of a previous address he used to have.

When the search results came back based on the minimal info I had, It pulled up a recent address along with even a phone number. When I called the phone no., I heard the voice of what sounded like it may be my step-brother. I asked if Joseph(my biological dad) was there, and he said no but to try back after 5.

I haven't done anything with the info, But I found what I was wanting to have.

Answer 6

They call up the companies on your resume if they want and verify with HR if the years listed on your resume with the company are correct. If they want to spend the money they can find out just about everything about you, except what size underwear you wear (and I'm not even certain that they can't find that out either).
