A Bank gets it's income in a few ways. The primary way is by holding funds on deposit for people who have excess cash and then loaning that money out to others. The difference between what the Bank charges for loaned out money versus what they have to pay the depositors for their money is called net interest margin.

e.g. John Deposits $20,000 in a BIG BANK savings account paying 1.00% interest.
Eric borrows $20,000 from BIG BANK to buy a car. The loan has a rate of 4.00% interest.

The bank will make 3.00% of net interest margin (gross profit before General and Administrative expenses). Basically the bank takes on the risk of Eric not being able to pay them back; for this, they are asking for 4.00% (or 3.00% of gross profit). John only gets 1.00%, as his risk is less than that of the Bank's because it is implied that the Bank is a lower credit risk than Eric.

Banks have other ways of making money as well, but this is the most traditional one.

How do you show proof of income if you are not or have not been employed?

I used http://www.INCOMEDOCUMENTS.com to print out real proof of income and employment.... If you have income from Social Security or government, you can show your bank statement as proof. If you have rental income you can show your receipts or your bank statement. If you have income from your parents you can show a letter from them stating how much income you receive.

The amount that is now in the bank should have been subject to the income taxes already and the income taxes should have been paid.
