                        if(err) return false
                        user.incomeRecords.remove( "_id": "{params.incomeRecordId}" ) // my delete income record syntax

You can use the mongodb pull operator. It would look something like this:-

findOneAndUpdate({userid:params.userid},{
  $pull:{
      incomeRecords:{
         _id:<the mongodb id here>
      }
  }
})

Check out the mongodb docs
