We have a form for most but not all income verification situations.  Every source of income that a household puts on an REA needs supporting documentation.  Income verification forms and/or supporting documentation should be submitted in REA questionnaire order.  You may also find it helpful to review the Income and Asset Certification and Reporting chapters in both the Tax Credit and Bond Manuals. The Income and Asset Verification Summary Chart (PDF) may also be helpful.
