Updates to Income Source and Income Type References
Guide Bulletin 2021-16 announced updates to income “source” and income “type” references to make sure the terms are used consistently throughout the Guide. We also announced that LPA messaging would be updated to reflect this change at a later date. After further review, we’ve determined that LPA messages were not impacted by this change and therefore no updates are needed.
