If I'm assuming the context correctly, the sentence is describing future
events that will occur should the user makes a particular choice. That said,
I don't think "is not" is grammatically incorrect, just less accurate
(assuming the context).

Chuck Martin

P.S. "no income verification" looks like a compound adjective. If so, it
should use hyphens. If I were feeling particularly bitchy, I might point
this out to QC (that they missed this) and suggest that they leave grammar
to the people who are trained in it.

What follows was taken from one of our manuals. Originally the sentence
read: If selected, income contained in Section V of the 1003 will not be
included in the 833 request file, and subsequently will not be returned
in the credit report. This could be desirable in no income verification
loans.

The QC department wants to change will not to is not in both instances.
Are they grammatically correct?
