Why do mortgage lenders request IRS tax transcripts?
Mortgage lenders use IRS transcripts to confirm that the income reported on your loan application matches the income reported to the IRS. This verification is required by many mortgage guidelines and helps prevent errors or fraud.
Having your transcripts ready early can help prevent delays during underwriting.
