About program

The 1099 Only Program is built for gig workers, freelancers, and independent contractors who earn income reported on a 1099 form. Instead of traditional tax returns, lenders review one or two years of 1099 forms—plus possibly a year-to-date statement—to assess qualifying income. This helps expedite the process for borrowers who don’t have W-2 income.
