And will I have to wait until tax returns to prove my income to banks? I am trying to get a car in the next couple months.

Yes, you’ll have to wait until you file. You can file as soon as you get all your information though. Employers are required to provide W2s by January 31.

So I won’t have to wait until my tax return, I just need to wait until I file?

Yes. Once you file, your return is ‘legit’. And based on your income level, it’s unlikely any additional taxes you pay for being honest will amount to much.

Thanks. I’ve only had my job for 4 months, will that make it impossible to get a loan because of the lack of history?

Um, possibly. That's not much of an employment history. So it brings up a few questions:

Did you get the new job after leaving an old one (without much 'down' time between gigs)? If so, then you have an employment history that goes longer than 4 months.

If this is your first job, 4 months is not a lot of time. Is this a job you expect to hold for a long-ish time, or is it biding you over until you get something else? Are you sure you need to get a car loan? Taking on a loan without a steady full-time job is kinda dangerous to your wealth. Have you worked out a budget for your life or lifestyle? If not, there are plenty of tools online to develop a budget to determine what you can reasonably afford. I've even got a half-baked one you can have.
