Your 2014–2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for review in a process called verification. The law says that
before awarding Federal Student Aid, we may ask you to confirm the information you and your parents reported on your FAFSA. To verify that
you provided correct information the financial aid administrator at your school will compare your FAFSA with the information on this worksheet
and with any other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA inf
ormation may need to be corrected. You and at least one
parent must complete and sign this worksheet, attach any required documents, and submit the form and other required documents to the
financial aid administrator at your school. Your school may ask for additional information. If you have questions about verification, contact your
financial aid administrator as soon as possible so that your financial aid will not be delayed.

E. Dependent Student’s Income Information to Be Verified
1. TAX RETURN FILERS
Instructions: Complete this section if the student filed or will file a 2013 IRS income tax return. The best way to verify income is by using the IRS
Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) that is part of FAFSA on the Web at FAFSA.gov. In most cases, no further documentation is needed to verify 2013
income information that was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS DRT if that information was not changed.
In most cases, for electronic tax return filers, 2013 IRS income tax return information for the IRS DRT is available within 23 weeks after the
2013 electronic IRS income tax return has been accepted by the IRS. Generally, for filers of 2013 paper IRS income tax returns, the 2013 IRS
income tax return information is available for the IRS DRT within 811 weeks after the 2013 paper IRS income tax return has been received by
the IRS. Contact the financial aid office if more information is needed about using the IRS DRT.
Check the box that applies:
The student has used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web to transfer 2013 IRS income tax return information into the student’s FAFSA.
The student has not yet used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web, but will use the tool to transfer 2013 IRS income tax return information
into the student’s FAFSA once the 2013 IRS income tax return has been filed.
The student is unable or chooses not to use the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web, and instead will provide the school a 2013 IRS Tax Return
Transcript.
To obtain a 2013 IRS Tax Return Transcript, go to www.IRS.gov and click on the “Get Transcript for Your Tax Records” link. Make sure to request
the “IRS Tax Return Transcript” and not the “IRS Tax Account Transcript.” Use the Social Security Number (or the IRS individual taxpayer
identification number) and the date of birth of the first person listed on the 2013 IRS income tax return, and the address on file with the IRS
(normally this will be the address used on the 2013 IRS income tax return). In most cases, for electronic filers, a 2013 IRS Tax Return Transcript
may be requested from the IRS within 23 weeks after the 2013 IRS income tax return has been accepted by the IRS. Generally, for filers of
2013 paper IRS income tax returns, the 2013 IRS Tax Return Transcript may be requested within 811 weeks after the 2013 paper IRS income
tax return has been received by the IRS.

Instructions: Complete this section if the parents filed or will file a 2013 IRS income tax return(s). The best way to verify income is by using the
