Self-employed borrowers have a notoriously hard time verifying employment and documenting income. Tax time is a great time to organize your documents, so you’ll have them ready when it’s time to apply for a mortgage.

Here are some of the more common items you may need

• Tax Returns (1040 and 1120 if applicable)


• 1099s for any reported income


• Business accounting and expense records


• Bank statements


• Deposit receipts

If you are self-employed and planning to buy or refinance a house in 2021, it’s a good idea to talk to your loan officer BEFORE you file your 2020 taxes.
