Yes, you can use your tax returns as proof of income for a mortgage. Lenders often request copies of your tax returns for the past two years to verify your income stability and determine your ability to repay the loan. The tax returns will provide information on your income, deductions, and any self-employment income. Additionally, the lender may also require you to sign a 4506-T form, which allows them to request a transcript of your tax returns directly from the IRS to ensure accuracy.
