Verification of 2017 Income Information for Parent
Complete part A if you filed a 2017 tax return; complete part B if you did not file a tax return.
A. Tax Return Filers
Important Note: The instructions below apply to each parent included in the household. If the parents filed
separate IRS income tax returns for 2017 we will need a 2017 tax return transcript for both parents.
Instructions: Complete this section if the parents filed a 2017 IRS income tax return(s). The best way to
verify income is by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool that is part of FAFSA on the Web at FAFSA.gov. In
most cases, no further documentation is needed to verify 2017 income information that was transferred into
the student’s FAFSA using the IRS DRT if that information was not changed. DRT is not available if
married filing separately, if filing a foreign income tax return, or if filing an amended tax return.
Contact the financial aid office if more information is needed about using the IRS DRT.

specific financial account numbers (such as a credit card number or an account number for a home
mortgage or auto loan). The transcript displays online upon successful completion of the IRS’s
