- Salaried/wage earner borrowers with base and overtime income
- Salaried/wage earner borrowers with commission and bonus income representing < 25% of the base income
The number of years processed, one or two, will be determined by DU Findings.

- Commission and bonus income representing 25% or more of the borrowers base income,
- Self-employed borrowers,
- A borrower employed by a family member,
- Rental income,
- Dividend, interest and Note income,

- It is determined borrower owns property or business not disclosed on the 1003
Business Tax Transcripts
If business income from IRS Form 1120/1120S or Form 1065 was used for qualifying and the business income is not reported on the borrower’s personal tax return the 1120/1120S or 1065 tax transcripts, in addition to the 1040 transcript, will be required.
All of the following matrices have been updated with this information and posted on the HomeBridge website at www.homebridgewholesale.com.
