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.

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.

    Joan was great, very transparent, and got me almost a percent lower with less money out of pocket than what my builder's lender was offering! Highly recommend.

  • Nandi Gregori • August 03, 2020

    Would recommend 1000%!!!!! What an experience! Called Joan about buying a home and within 2 months, we looked at A LOT of homes, found one we loved, and closed within 30 days. Before calling Clear lending, I was stressed about the home buying process due to the COVID virus, never thought we would be able to close during a pandemic. Joan made the home buying experience simple and straightforward, answering all questions via phone and WhatsApp, and we also made sure to send all needed documentation in, when requested, to ensure a smooth close... The closing process was stressful due to the anticipation of wanting the process to come to an end, however, that's normal and Joan was readily available answering my never-ending questions. Joan truly cares about his clients and was in my corner throughout the process. Superexcellent home buying experience and a great person to work with. Thanks, Joan/clear lending!!!!
