Providers where it is unverified
We looked and the provider publishes nothing that answers it. That is not the same as the capability being absent.
| Provider | What a correct answer needed |
|---|---|
| Experian Verify | No W-2 or 1099 data is mentioned on the Experian Verify pages read. A correct answer needed an Experian document listing tax-form outputs. |
| Knit | The Document model has only id, category, fileName, content and url, with no tax-form type. A correct answer needed a documented tax-form type or endpoint. |
| SteadyIQ Income Passport | incomeCategory classifies income as IncomeGrossW2 or Income1099, but no W-2/1099 documents or form fields are documented. A correct answer needed a documented tax-form output. |
