Heads up: This course assumes you are comfortable building income from tax returns. Calculating the qualifying income of a self-employed borrower is often challenging, but throw an extraordinary or unusual event into the mix, and it becomes daunting!

Topics include:
- Questions to consider regarding environmental or economic events and their impact on your borrower’s business
- When net operating loss carryover can be added back
- What steps to take if your borrower has filed an extension
- What further review is required when your borrower is using business funds for closing and/or omitting debts paid by the business
- Impact of YTD earnings on qualifying income
