As the tax season begins, the Mr. Cooper team is here to help you start it off right. Here’s a quick look at what to expect and when.
Key Topics
What tax statements to expect
Each January, we provide our customers a year-end tax statement that summarizes key mortgage and tax information from the previous year and includes your IRS Form 1098 (Mortgage Interest Statement).
That said, if your mortgage was transferred to Mr. Cooper from another lender, you may receive two year-end tax statements—one from each lender—or you may receive a combined year-end statement. Please refer to the dates listed on the year-end statement to determine if it covers the entire year.
If necessary, your Form 1098 will also be accompanied by a Form 1099 (1099-A, C, INT, or MISC). These are only provided after certain events, which can include (but are not limited to) if a customer:
- Received a cash benefit of $600 or more from Mr. Cooper during the past year.
- Earned more than $10 in interest on an escrow account.
- Had debt discharged, cancelled, or forgiven.
- Experienced an event such as a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, etc.
For more information on the Forms 1098 and 1099 we provide, visit our Help Center’s Year-End Tax Statements article.
Note: Please be aware that if your property is in Puerto Rico, they have state-specific tax forms and Mr. Cooper reports directly to the government, as required.
When your year-end tax statement will be available
Your year-end tax statement will typically be available online around the middle of January. If you’re not signed up for Paperless, your statement will be mailed to you by January 31.
