Apply for a mortgage while filing your taxes

Many of the documents you need to collect are important for both tasks. The basic documents for applying for a mortgage are:

  • Two years of tax returns
  • Check stubs/ W2’s
  • Bank account information

Additional Mortgage documents

You will need a few additional documents for your mortgage that you may not need for your taxes. For example, you will also need:

  • Gift letters if you are receiving money from family
  • Photo ID
  • Renting history (if you are a first time home buyer)

Money on the brain

While doing your taxes, it’s a great time to review your finances. You will have a clear picture of how you spent your money in the last year and be able to plan for the next year. You will be on your way to having a clear picture of what kind of home you can afford.
