Do Lenders Need Tax Returns If You’re Not Self-Employed?



Lenders are required to make sure you can afford your monthly mortgage payment. They do this by comparing your monthly credit obligations along with your gross monthly income. Credit account payments are verified by reviewing your credit report and your income by looking at copies of most recent pay check stubs covering a 30 day period. Upon review of both, your lender will arrive at your debt-to-income ratio. If you’re self-employed, you may not have pay check stubs and even if you do issue pay checks the lender will also ask for copies of your two most recent federal income tax returns, both personal and business.

For the self-employed borrower, the lender will average net business income over the previous two years while also needing to verify income from one year to the next is relatively consistent. They can only do this reviewing income tax returns because there are neither pay stubs nor W2 forms. But lenders can also ask for tax returns even if the borrowers are employees and not self-employed.

On a typical home loan application there is a space dedicated to income. There are sections for Base Employment Income along with areas for overtime, bonuses, commissions, dividends and interest, rental income and “other.” If a borrower has income from any source other than base employment income, the lender will need to review the income in the same manner as if the borrower were self-employed. This means you will need to provide copies of your two most recent federal returns. If any of the income outside of base employment income has a two year history, is consistent and the lender determines the income will likely continue, the income can be used to help qualify if needed.

Additionally you can also expect to sign a form lenders refer to as the 4506-T which allows the lender to request copies of your recent income tax transcripts directly from the IRS. Even if you’re not self-employed, the lender orders these forms and compares them independently with the information that appears on your loan application.

WILL A TEMPORARY LOW INTEREST RATE AFFECT YOUR MORTGAGE CHANCES?

The September meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve board did not increase the federal funds interest rate which affects the rates given to other financial instruments such as car loans and home mortgages. Although a rate hike was expected in September, the Feds nixed that plan, citing that the American economy wasn't strong enough as the prime reason. The Feds' decision, however, created what could be considered a temporary low-interest rate for the American housing market. How this will affect home buyers is unclear as how much the Fed will raise base interest rates is still unknown. All indications point to an interest rate hike that will happen soon, most likely by the end of 2015. If the rate hike is around 0.25%, homeowners will hardly notice the difference. The difference will come when, and if, the Fed continues to hike interest rates as the economy improves. Most experts agree that a 25 or 50 point rise in interest rates won't produce a visible effect on the e...
