Fill out HUD-1 Settlement Statement online
The HUD-1 Settlement Statement is a standardized form that itemizes all charges imposed on the borrower and seller in a real estate transaction. It details the loan terms, closing costs, escrow deposits, real estate commissions, title fees, and prorated taxes. While largely replaced by the CFPB Closing Disclosure for most transactions after October 2015, the HUD-1 is still used for reverse mortgages, HELOCs, and some manufactured housing transactions.
How to fill out HUD-1 Settlement Statement
Review borrower and seller information
Verify that the names, property address, settlement date, and loan information in Section A through J are correct.
Review settlement charges (page 2)
Examine all itemized charges in Sections 800-1400: real estate commissions, loan charges, title charges, government recording fees, and additional settlement charges. Compare against the Good Faith Estimate.
Check prorations and adjustments
Review Sections 106-112 and 406-412 for prorated property taxes, HOA dues, rent credits, and other adjustments between buyer and seller.
Verify totals and sign
Confirm the total settlement charges, cash to/from seller, and cash due from/to borrower are correct. Sign and date the form at closing.
About HUD-1 Settlement Statement
Who needs this form
Settlement agents (title companies, attorneys) prepare the HUD-1 for the buyer and seller. It is used in reverse mortgage transactions, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and certain manufactured housing loans that are not covered by the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules.
Where to submit
Provided to the borrower at or before closing. The settlement agent retains the original, and copies go to the buyer, seller, and lender for their records. It is not filed with a government agency.
Source and content freshness

Common mistakes to avoid
- Charges on the HUD-1 not matching the Good Faith Estimate (outside allowed tolerances)
- Prorated taxes or HOA dues calculated incorrectly between buyer and seller
- Missing or incorrect real estate commission splits
- Not reviewing the form before the closing date (borrowers should request it 24 hours in advance)
- Confusing the HUD-1 with the Closing Disclosure, which replaced it for most transactions
