When you apply for a loan, you typically need to provide quite a bit of information. This paperwork allows your lender to verify your income and assets and other financial information. Below is list of documents that may be needed to process your application, depending on your situation.

Proof of Income

  • Pay stubs: Copies of pay stubs for each applicant in the household
  • W-2 statements from the past two years: Your employer provides them every year during tax season. You should be able to find copies attached to your tax returns. Or, if you filed taxes electronically, you or your tax preparer will have an electronic copy in your records
  • Tax returns: Copies of all the pages from your last two years’ tax returns and IRS Form 4506T. This will allow the lender to review the official IRS transcript of your tax returns

If you’re self-employed, you’ll need to submit:

  • Year-to-date profit and loss statement and balance sheets prepared and signed by you and your accountant
  • Signed tax returns for the last two reporting years (business and personal). Make sure signatures are original, not photocopies, and include all schedules.
