Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy, purchases and what your document can do.

Is my financial data stored on PaycheckVista servers?

Calculator entries and draft editing run in your browser. Paid paystub delivery temporarily stores an encrypted document for 7 days. W-2 and 1099-NEC entries stay on your device. Purchase and entitlement records are retained separately. See the privacy policy for details.

How do I remove the watermark from my PDF document?

Preview for free, then purchase the document or use an available credit. The final watermark-free PDF is unlocked only after payment authorization. An email address alone does not unlock a document.

Are these paystubs legally compliant for proof of income?

PaycheckVista prepares a document from the information you enter. It does not verify employment or income, certify legal compliance or file with the IRS or SSA. Ask the receiving organization what evidence it accepts, and use accurate records.

Can I edit a paystub after purchasing?

You can continue editing the draft. Changes to pay, employee, company or pay-period details create a new document version and require another credit. Re-downloading the same unlocked document does not use another credit.

What payment methods are accepted?

Payments are processed through Stripe checkout. The methods available for your transaction are displayed at checkout and can depend on your device, location and the payment configuration. PaycheckVista does not receive your card number.
