Too many deductions on your income taxes?

 

Have you ever been denied a mortgage loan due to tax write-offs?

As we get ready for tax season, we put together our W-2s or 1099s, maybe some medical expenses, our children education expenses and all receipts we’ve been collecting throughout the year so our CPA or Tax Preparer can claim them in the form of deductions to either get the fattest check back or simply pay the least possible taxes to Uncle Sam.

 

For the most part, any expenses claimed on tax returns may help save on taxes due, but did you know it can also reduce or even kill your borrowing ability?

In simple terms, the use of deductions reduces your qualifying income by the same amount of deductions reported. So for instance, a wage earner who reports $60,000 on his/her W-2 and who also reports unreimbursed employee expenses of $20,000 for that same year, his/her qualifying income will be reduced to $40,000. This will definetely affect person's borrowing ability. 

While for self-employed borrowers the criterion is the same, there are more options as certain deductions not available to wage earners may not reduce qualifying income while do reduce taxes due.

   

This is why as we get into tax season whether you are a wage earner or self-employed be sure to contact us to share your coming plans as well as talk with your CPA or Tax Preparer ahead of time to let them know you are looking to get a mortgage loan. This way, you can strategically prepare your taxes, preserving your borrowing potential and still maybe saving on taxes as well.

At Clear Lending, we will conduct a free analysis helping you understand your chances of qualifying for a mortgage based on your current filed income documents. Simply contact us and we will help you understand key areas of concern you may want to consult with your CPA or Tax Preparer before filing your taxes so your plans to purchase a home in the near future are not shattered. 

Please take this information into account in the coming tax season.

    It was an amazing experience. My family and I are extremely thankful for all the hard work Joan and his team , above all Ms Elena and Ms Patricia. They all made our first time buying a home just as easy as it could be , even though my husband had to fix his credit. They told us what to do and what to work in order for us to improve his credit score . They fallowed us and Guided us for almost a year and then when we could be able to buy the process did not last a month . We were approved very quickly and the whole process was very fast , they work very fast and they work with you , they are an excellent team and I would recommend them 100% sure that they will do an excellent job helping you to buy the perfect house .

    Muchas gracias clear lending por la ayuda, entrega y paciencia hasta conseguirme el prestamo hipotecario. Tras dos intentos fallidos doy gracias a Dios les encontre para intentar nuevamente y con exito lograr lo que nuestra familia tanto deseaba. Es una gran felicidad la estabilidad que uno siente al final del dia cuando llega a casa y ustedes han sido los artifices de este logro. Gracias por todo y no duden que les recondare a quien necesite una ayuda de verdad. Heriberto.

    Very resourceful for individuals with bad credit. The agents are professional and very interactive in the loan process. I highly recommend if you're looking for an in-person experience where all steps and details are explained clearly. Just bought my first home. Thank you Joan and Patricia.
