# Q1 2022 Compliance Roundup
Jun 7, 2022
Topics: [Compliance](https://blog.docutech.com/tag/compliance)
While short on compliance news, the first quarter of 2022 was packed with several important document updates. Our experts are always reviewing compliance requirements for document changes, and as you will see below, have found plenty from the beginning of the year. Make sure you also take note of the Recent Article and Global Mapping updates located towards the bottom for the most thorough roundup.
To stay up to date on all document updates and compliance news, subscribe to our [compliance blog](https://compliance.docutech.com/).
Compliance News:
- The Ohio Department of Commerce has announced an increase in coverage amount for residential mortgage to be subject to or exempt from a prepayment penalty under Ohio Rev. Code § 1343.011(C).
We have updated our Prepayment Penalty Matrix accordingly and it is now available on our [website](https://compliance.docutech.com/matrices/).
Document Updates:
- The IRS has updated the instructions and the contact information found at the top of tax form 4506 Request for Copy of Tax Return. [Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/01/05/document-updates-updates-to-tax-form-4506-request-for-copy-of-tax-return-cx23/)
- We are making changes to our FNMA Form 1003 (Cx20667) to align with updated guidance indicating how self-employment income should be reported on the URLA. [Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/01/05/document-updates-self-employment-income-on-the-redesigned-urla-fnma-1003-cx20667/)
- On Jan. 6, 2022, the Department of Veteran Affairs published Circular 26-22-02 regarding the updating of VA Form 26-0592, Counseling Checklist for Military Homebuyers (Cx3521). Specifically, the checklist now explains how Veterans with a pre-discharge claim pending can pursue exemption from the VA funding fee. [Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/01/12/document-updates-revision-to-va-form-26-0592-counseling-checklist-for-military-homebuyers-cx3521/)
- New functionality to trigger additional copies of IRS Form 4506-C was announced last month. The fields that trigger new Request 2, Request 3, or Request 4 copies per borrower have been updated. These new per borrower “Print” fields trigger additional 4506-T copies to print, not the “Form Name” fields as previously listed in this area. [Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/01/14/document-updates-update-to-announcement-regarding-new-additional-tax-transcript-functionality-for-4506-c-cx3095/)
- According to the instructions for the SSA-89, the form is required to be completed for each “reason for authoring consent.” The form has several choices that an SSN holder may select. In the context of a mortgage loan, the most obvious one is the “To apply for a mortgage” choice. However, since there are more choices that are available, multiple SSA-89’s may need to be completed if selected by the SSN holder. Docutech®, a First American Company, has added language to the coversheet of our SSA-89 (Cx5579) to explain this potential requirement for a manual process. [Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/01/26/document-updates-updates-to-social-security-number-verification-cx5579/)
- New Hampshire Senate Bill 134 enacts the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, including provisions for notarizations on electronic records and for remotely located individuals which took effect Feb. 6, 2022. [Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/01/28/document-updates-new-hampshire-notarial-requirements-for-ron/)
- The state of New Jersey recently adopted amendments to the Model Rule on Notarial Acts which includes new short form notarial language in addition to the existing notary language provided under the real property code. Due to the provision Docutech recently modified our standard New Jersey forms to utilize the general stature notary language. [Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/01/31/document-updates-new-jersey-general-vs-real-property-notary-language/)
- Docutech has made changes to the Washington security instruments to allow for the removal of “Prepared By” section by setting Field 61562 “Print Prepared By on Last Page of Recordable Docs” to No. [Learn more](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/02/11/document-updates-various-washington-security-instruments/).

[Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/02/15/document-updates-updates-to-va-forms-26-8923-cx5535-and-26-1805-cx14216/)

[Learn more.](https://compliance.docutech.com/2022/03/30/document-updates-louisiana-heloc-mortgage-cx1356/)
