<prompt> Human: For example, I did not file for taxes this past year rather, my parents handle all tax related things for our household as I was just a full time student and did not have a job. I recently got a part time job and that changes my annual gross income from 1k to 10k. The previous 1k is from extra scholarships that I used on living expenses.Now, I recently got a student credit card application. But I am wondering if I put my social and my new gross annual income, will there be red flags for them? Do they use the social security number to check our wages from filing taxes? Couldnt they check my tax reports through my social and see that I have not reported a 10k annual income? Doesnt it look like I am just lying about my gross income to get approved for the credit card. Lol Im telling the truth though, I just got the job about a month ago. I am a bit confused and would like to clear things up before applying. Thank you. If I missed any details please let me know.  <response>: Youre over thinking this. They rarely check anything, and it they did, they would want your employer to confirm your salary. They dont have access to your IRS filings. Just put what you honestly expect your income including scholarships to be for the current year and youre fine.
