Freddie Mac issued Bulletin 2022-3 (Bulletin) to end temporary COVID-19 related requirements for borrowers with self-employment income, provided the most recent federal income tax returns are not older than 2020. If a self-employed borrower’s most recent federal income tax returns are dated prior to 2020, lenders must continue to apply the temporary COVID-19 related requirements. Note that the temporary requirements for verifying that a borrower’s business is open and operating within 20 business days prior to the note date continue to apply. The Bulletin is effective immediately.
