Can my spouse's income not count toward USDA qualification

We'd like to do 100% financing but don't meet the income qualification when factoring in my husband's pay. But he works part time, and his cash makes up only 10% of our household takehome. Aside from that his credit is poor so I think considering him will hurt us. Thoughts? by diannel39798108 from Delong, Indiana. May 7th 2014 Reply

All household income especially if it is reported on the tax returns has to be accounted for when applying for USDA Guaranteed Home Loan. The maximum allowable gross annual income for Fulton County for a household of 4 is $74,750. It increases higher for larger households.

You must count it but if you pay child care and it's on the tax returns you can deduct the amount you paid for the previous year from the total household income. You can also deduct $480.00 per child.
