Your 2018-2019 FAFSA was selected for a process called verification, and therefore Goucher College needs to confirm information reported on your

FAFSA. If there are differences between your FAFSA and the information provided for verification, your FAFSA may need to be corrected. You must

submit this completed and signed worksheet, along with any required documents to the Office of Student Financial Aid at Goucher College. If any

corrections change your eligibility for any financial aid programs, a revised financial aid notice will be sent.

Using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) in the FAFSA 
*** Highly Recommended *** 
 
Since the 2018-2019 FAFSA application uses financial information from the “Prior Prior” 2016 tax year, there are very 
few scenarios where the Data Retrieval Tool may not be used. In most cases, no further income verification 
documentation is required when using the DRT, as long as the information is unchanged. Please see the Data Retrieval 
Tool instructions and tip sheet to see if you are eligible, and to get additional information and instructions. 
 
Options for Getting a Tax Return Transcript from the IRS 
 
Federal Tax Return Transcripts can be obtained online (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript), or by telephone 
at 1-800-908-9946. Please make sure you request a 2016 “Tax Return Transcript” and not a “Tax Account Transcript”. 
For additional help, or special filing circumstances (amended returns, or identity theft) see our IRS Tax Return Transcript 
tip sheet.  
 
Submit Your Documents 
 
Preferred: Scan as a PDF (150dpi minimum) and attach to an e-mail sent to finaid@goucher.edu. We 
normally confirm receipt of documents sent by e-mail in 2-3 business days. (You may also get an automated e-
mail when you first submit.) 
You may also fax to 410-337-6504. If you send by regular mail (see address at top of form), then please keep 
copies in your records as a backup. Confirmation is not normally sent when you submit by fax or regular mail, 
so students should log in to Net Partner (www.goucher.edu/fasts) 2 business days after faxing or 1 week after 
mailing, and check the Documents tab to confirm receipt. 
 
Processing, Turnaround Time, and Monitoring your Financial Aid 
 
  Please allow 10-15 business days for documents to be reviewed and processed. 
  In some cases, we may need to request additional documents after reviewing what you submit. 
o  Please respond promptly to any e-mails from our office requesting additional clarifications or 
documents. 
  Students should check their financial aid file regularly using Goucher’s online financial aid tracking 
system called Net Partner. 
o  http://www.goucher.edu/netpartner  
o  Each screen is available under the “Menu” button. 
o  Log in and review your “Documents” screen to see what is needed. 
o  Respond to anything showing as “Not Received” or “Incomplete”. 
o  We recommend you check online every 2-4 weeks from May through August.
