How Income Is Determined

Mortgage Library: Ask a Mortgage Related Question: Answers: How Income Is Determined

Question:

When trying to obtain a mortgage loan, why am I asked to bring in 2 years worth of W2's and most recent paycheck stubs? Do they average out what I make in the last 2 years to determine if I can get the loan? Are these items really that important?

Answer:

Yes, those things really are that important.

When determining income, your mortgage company will use the current income and year-to-date from your current paycheck stubs. The W-2s prove employment history and validate your current income.
