What should a self-employed offender provide to their officer?

A self-employed offender should provide their officer with occupational license or tax information because these documents serve as official proof of their business operations and legal compliance within the local and state regulations. An occupational license indicates that the offender is authorized to conduct business in their specific field, which is crucial for establishing legitimacy in their self-employment status. Additionally, tax information can demonstrate their financial activities and compliance with tax obligations, which is important for monitoring their financial situation and any obligations related to their probation or correctional status.

While a business plan could outline their strategies for success and a letter from clients may provide insight into their client relationships, these documents do not carry the same official weight or verification that occupational licenses or tax information do. Similarly, proof of income from sales might indicate profitability but does not confirm the legality of the business operations or adherence to applicable regulations, which the officer needs to assess compliance with probationary terms.
