Re: salary history???? do i really want to say the truth?
My last job offer, I left if off of my application. Hiring manager asked what I wanted and I gave him a range. They paid me right in the middle of what I asked for and my salary was almost doubled. No way was I going to tell them what I was making. I knew I was underpaid, but had no clue what they were willing to pay. Silence is golden sometimes  I personally would not lie though. I would say this is what I want, and won't make a move for less. Nicely though

My dh is constantly approached by competing companies He has made several moves over the past 10 years and never once been asked to supply a pay stub or w2. When he is asked for salary he always inflates what he makes. I don't think a potential employee should have to supply proof of income If a company wants you and is willing to pay you X amount of money it shouldn't matter what you made years prior.
Agree. You can always so no to the W-2 and if they don't hire you, it's their loss.

i have always bumped mine up and I have never been asked for proof.
Same. I thought that's what everyone does and it's a given.

Don't lie it could come to bite you in the end. As long as you are asking for a salary that is competitive it is reasonable to expect that you would want a jump in pay.

Most companies ask for a recent pay stub to also verify current employment.
