I gather there is still a mortgage on the home you just sold? I don't think you explained things correctly in your opening post. Something is not making sense. Why are you seeking approval to sell your home?

Did you sign the paper? Why consent to let the bank look over your IRS Return? What are you getting in return?
You're correct. I did a poor job explaining in my original post. I'm getting pre approved for a loan to buy another home after selling the current home. The document was so the bank could verify my tax return with the IRS....I guess to have proof I didn't lie about income. The LM return still proves my income is what I say it is. The AGI may throw up a red flag. However, I would think they see all kinds of tax returns in their line of work and a reduced taxable income (by deduction or reduction) shouldn't be unorthodox. And yes, I did sign the document. I assumed I wouldn't get approved without signing. I should've asked.
