Not Sure If Your 1099 History Is Long Enough?
Most 1099 Non-QM programs look for 12–24 months of 1099 history — here's how lookbacks, gaps, and new-contractor files are handled.
Investors measure how long you have been earning 1099 income — not how long you have filed taxes.
Underwriters look for an unbroken trail of 1099 income — not just forms sitting in a folder.
Lookback rules and acceptable gap lengths are investor-specific and can change without notice.
Ryan & Steve review your 1099 timeline before you write an offer — so you know whether a one-year or two-year program fits today or after one more tax season.
We flag gaps, overlapping W-2 income, and payer changes early so underwriting does not stall when forms do not line up with deposits.
If your 1099 history is still seasoning, we map bank statement or hybrid paths so you do not lose months waiting on the wrong program.
