Margin Desk is a folder desk for three kinds of paper: a closing disclosure, a payroll tax form, and a commercial property claim. Open the page that matches the sheet in front of you, copy the fields, and stop.
Start in Mortgage Closing Files when the closing disclosure, title commitment, or escrow page is the problem. Use Payroll Tax Folders when the page is a 941, a W-2, or a deposit receipt. Open Commercial Property Claims when the building form, business-income worksheet, or proof of loss is the problem.
We are not a lender, payroll company, or insurer. A number on a page is an illustrative example unless the page is telling you to copy it off your own form.
