So I have had a number of background checks in the past for security clearance and have also served as a reference for friends. More or less you just want to be as honest as possible. In this case does the income you reported match what you reported to your tax agency?

I wouldn't really worry too much about the background check unless you have made blatant or intentional falsifications on your application.
