FOR OVERHEAD EXPENSE

Entity Tax Return


FOR BUSINESS REDUCING TERM

Copy of Loan Agreement (or other agreement evidencing indebtedness)


Note: Please get the entire tax return, not just the first few pages. It will save you time, energy, and embarrassment. If you ask for everything "up front," you will get it, but there are few things worse than having to go back to your client to ask for additional pages because you did not get the entire return initially. Also, be sure to obtain a W-2 for the proposed insured if it is a joint return.
