In Announcement 23-37 and Announcement 24-47, Pennymac outlined requirements surrounding inaccurate or improperly executed 4506-C forms. Pennymac is reminding clients that once the borrower has signed the form, alterations to the 4506-C are not acceptable and may result in a purchase delay and/or the loan being conditioned for a new form. An alteration is any change made to the original information input on the form by the taxpayer. Alteration examples include, but are not limited to the following:
- Electronically inserting or removing information
- Whiting-out, cutting and pasting, redacting information, checking or unchecking checkboxes
- Writing over original entries (includes crossed-out items)
- Utilization of a sticker or electronic text box containing participant or client information
Please reference IRS IVES Section(s) 3.5.20.3.4 and 3.5.20.5.1.1(10) for IVES alteration explanations and examples.
