How do I prove no income?

[Rubyiris]

I'm applying for food stamps, and access health insurance, and I need to provide proof that I have no income. How do I do this?

Just to note: I have never held a job and I do not have a bank account.

I called the DES office and they asked me to provide a letter explaining how I cover expenses, but I wasn't able to find any good examples on how to write a letter like this.

Can someone help?

I beleive you have to show that any income you have earned is not taxable. If you've never had a job and are having someone provide for you such as a parent then you have to show you are their dependant.

From Google:
file a Form 4506-T with the IRS to request copies of all income sources that they have information on.

Check Box 7 - Box 7 requests proof from the IRS that you haven't filed a tax return.
Check Box 8 - Box 8 will request a printout of all the W-2s and 1099s issued under your Social Security Number.
If the income showing is non-taxable (or non-existent), that will help prove your case.
