The Tax Filing Conundrum for Self-Employed Borrowers
As a self-employed individual, you have the power to deduct a plethora of expenses, reducing what you owe to Uncle Sam. Sounds great, right? But here's the twist: those deductions might make your income appear smaller than it really is, which can be a hiccup when applying for a mortgage.
