Stape for official reporting — who used it when applying for a US visa?

Visas to Italy

I couldn’t find any discussions about the Stape service. As I understand it, it’s a way to have official reporting for the tax authorities and documents for legalization. Has anyone used it when gathering documents for a US visa or to verify income for immigration authorities?

For lavoro autonomo (self-employment) I specifically submitted a declaration with an apostille — it’s a mandatory document; without it they won’t accept it. The financial requirements for a Visa D are a separate matter; for my type of activity the amount was €17,700. As I understand it, Stape is a platform for keeping records, but the Italian Questura (police headquarters) looks at the tax authority statement with an apostille, not at which system you used for bookkeeping.

Thanks, that’s clearer now. Are the economic parameters checked separately from the package, or do they review them together with all the documents?
