Frequently Asked Questions

How do wedding photographers report retainer deposits received in advance?

Retainer deposits received months before a wedding are technically advance payments. For cash-basis tax filers (most sole proprietors), income is recognized when received regardless of the wedding date. Export your bank statement to Excel — each deposit date and amount is your reportable income for that tax year.

Can wedding photographers qualify for mortgages with seasonal income?

Yes. Bank statement mortgage lenders (12–24 month programs) average monthly deposits over the full year, which smooths seasonal peaks. Export 24 months of statements to Excel. Your average monthly deposits — even with slow November–January months — represent your qualifying income for the lender's income calculation worksheet.
