Origination ActivitiesQuestion 231 of 400

During processing, an underwriter needs to verify a salaried borrower's income. Which document set most directly supports qualifying income for a W-2 wage earner?

a.Recent pay stubs, prior-year W-2 forms, and a verification of employment
b.Two years of Schedule C business tax returns and a profit-and-loss statement
c.A signed gift letter and the donor's bank statement
d.The purchase contract and the seller's disclosure statement

Explanation

For a W-2 wage earner, income is documented with recent pay stubs, prior-year W-2s, and often a verification of employment (VOE). Schedule C and P&L statements apply to self-employed borrowers, and gift letters or contracts document other loan facts, not wage income.
