🛒 Proof of Income for Instacart & Shipt Shoppers

Updated July 2026 · 4 min read

Shopper pay is a mix of batch pay and customer tips, and busy holiday weeks can look very different from a quiet month. A landlord reading a raw payment history may not easily see your typical monthly income.

Where to Find Your Income Records

  • The Instacart and Shipt apps both show an earnings or payments history with batch-by-batch detail.
  • Instacart provides a 1099-K or 1099-NEC once you cross the platform's reporting threshold.
  • You can typically download a CSV or PDF summary of your payment history from your account settings.

Why an Income Packet Helps

Combining several months of batch pay and tips into one monthly summary gives a clearer, steadier income picture than a long list of individual batches.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I total my Instacart or Shipt earnings by month?

Check your in-app payments history or download your CSV export, then add up all payouts received within each calendar month.

Can I list Instacart as an income source in the packet?

Yes — add it under Income Sources in Step 2 along with the payment type shown on your 1099 (1099-K or 1099-NEC), if you received one.
