Non-QM

1099-only program

Use 1099 income without a full two-year tax-return package when the work is contract-based.

  • Contract income
  • No traditional W-2 required
  • Purchase or refinance

Who it is for

Independent contractors whose income arrives on 1099s rather than a salaried W-2.

1099-only programs are built for people who already document gross contract income. We still need a coherent story: how long you have done the work, and whether a simple expense haircut still supports the payment.

Questions

Is this the same as bank statements?
No. 1099-only uses the 1099 history. Bank statements use deposits. Some borrowers qualify for both; we pick the stronger file.
