YTD P&L
A profit-and-loss statement covering the current year to date — from January 1 through the application month. Required alongside prior-year tax returns when applying for a conventional self-employed loan. A significant YTD decline relative to prior years requires explanation and can affect qualifying income.
How does this affect your loan? Estimate self-employed qualifying income with the DTI calculator, or read the self-employed mortgage guide.
