If MCR filings had a slogan, it would probably be:
“Due sooner than you think — and more complicated than you remember.”

Every year, brokers promise themselves they’ll get ahead of it.
And every year, someone uploads data at 11:59 p.m., praying NMLS doesn’t time out.

But 2026 doesn’t have to be that year.

Here’s your official 2026 MCR filing calendar, the pitfalls to avoid, and how SCP can keep your reports accurate, on time, and examiner-ready.

YOUR 2026 MCR DEADLINE CALENDAR

Q4 2025 MCR

Due: February 14, 2026 

Start the year strong. This is the filing most brokers scramble on — loan logs are messy, numbers don’t match, or supplemental states require extra reporting.

Q1 2026 MCR

Due: May 15, 2026

Tax season + MCR season = chaos.
This quarter brings the most corrections because companies update systems, change LOS platforms, or expand states in Q1.

Q2 2026 MCR

Due: August 14, 2026

Summer vacations + missing data = the perfect storm.
This is where NMLS sees a spike in incomplete filings and mismatched totals.

Q3 2026 MCR

Due: November 14, 2026

Right before renewal season — and the one examiners watch closely.
If numbers look off here, states may flag you going into renewals.

Q4 2026 MCR

Due: February 14, 2027

New year, same deadline. This filing closes out your 2026 data, and any errors can carry over into your next renewal cycle.

TOP MCR MISTAKES BROKERS MAKE (AND HOW WE FIX THEM)

1. Loan data doesn’t match NMLS totals

This is the #1 cause of NMLS “deficiency” warnings.
SCP reconciles your LOS data, loan logs, and NMLS totals before filing.

2. Including loans you weren’t required to report

Investment loans, prequalifications or preapprovals, or loans originated under another entity often get mixed into the data.
SCP cleans the file so what you report is accurate.

3. Missing or incomplete state supplements

One missed line item = a deficiency notice.
We handle every state’s unique requirements.

4. Wrong NMLS mortgage call report type

If your company grows (or shrinks), your MCR category may change.
SCP confirms you’re filing under the correct type every quarter.

5. Filing on time… but filing incorrectly

NMLS accepts inaccurate reports — but regulators don’t.
SCP ensures it’s right the first time.
