Which of the following actions subjects a lender to mortgage interest reporting requirements?
A lender is subject to mortgage interest reporting requirements if it receives at least $500 in interest on a mortgage loan during a calendar year. This is in accordance with IRS regulations which require such reporting for transparency and tax purposes.
The IRS requires lenders to report mortgage interest received if they are in the business of lending money and hold mortgage loans as part of their trade or business activities. This requirement is aimed at ensuring that the interest paid on mortgage loans is accurately reported both by borrowers, for potential tax deductions, and by lenders, for income reporting purposes.
