Tax returns are used in the lending process. So, having your tax return properly filled out and submitted to the IRS is important, if you plan to purchase a home or refinance in the next few years.

In some cases a tax return will not be required for underwriting. However, the lender will require that you complete a form 4506T which is sent to the IRS to obtain a transcript of your filed return. So, even when a tax return is not initially requested, they are often requested after receipt of the transcript if any of the following items are noted: self employed or 1099 income, rental property income, unreimbursed business expenses or any items which don’t correspond with information submitted on paystubs or W-2s.
