All Borrowers, whose income is used to qualify or whose assets are used as a basis for repayment of obligations in accordance with the requirements in Section 5307.1, must sign Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 4506-T (or an alternate form acceptable to the IRS that authorizes the release of comparable tax information) on the application date and again on the Note Date, except that if the Form 4506-T obtained on the application date is submitted to the IRS and tax transcripts are received back from the IRS, Seller is not required to obtain an additional Borrower signed Form 4506-T.

If submitting the Form 4506-T to the IRS, the Seller must ensure that the IRS receives the form prior to the form's expiration date. The Seller must retain the tax documentation received back from the IRS in the Mortgage file.
