Question: Your bank approved a mortgage on a residential property for the purpose of purchasing the property. The bank relied upon the income of the borrower as indicated in his tax return, but also took into consideration the income of corporations owned and controlled by the borrower. Should your bank include only the adjusted gross income as reported on the personal tax return or should you also include the income of the corporations owned and controlled by the borrower and upon which you considered when making your credit decision?
Answer: You should include the income of the corporations as well as the AGI of the borrower in the income you report in your HMDA LAR for this loan.
