   4506t are used if there is a problem verifying your soc # & also it is used when the lenders get audited, and they do get audited!

   I have not heard of First Choice Mortgage in Charlotte.

   Charlotte is my market.

   If you are fearing the 4506t form because you are planning on lying about your income or hand over forged tax records, I would HIGHLY encourage you, that unless you want to spend a few years in Federal Prison, to not go that route.

   Charlotte is one of the areas hardest hit by mortgage fraud, and these companies WILL turn you over to the authorities.

   I would highly recommend reading the bottom of the loan application where it states the penalties of lying on a mortgage loan application.

   If you are being truthful about your income information, then it shouldn’t make a hill of beans if they want you to fill out a 4506t form or not.

   PS: A 4506t tax form is NOT used to verify your social security number, it is an IRS form that allows the mortgage company to order transcripts of your tax returns, that is how they “bust” people lying about their income or handing over tax records with false numbers or that were never filed at all.

   Hi,

   The primary reason behind using a 4506 form is to prevent mortgage fraud. Lenders use such a form to collect copies of the tax returns of self-employed borrowers for the past 2 years from the IRS. Most big lenders and mortgage companies ask borrowers to fill out such a form. To know more on why 4506 form is used, refer to .

   If you submit tax returns with a loan application, they will process the 4506T every time.

   Even if you don’t submit tax returns, they could process the 4506T to verify your filing status and income, but it would usually only be processed if the file was selected for an audit.

   Good luck.
