Instructions: Complete this section if the student and spouse filed or will file a 2014 IRS income tax return(s). 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 2014 income information that was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS DRT if that information was not changed.
Check the box that applies:
The student has used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web to transfer 2014 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 2014 IRS income tax return information into
the student’s FAFSA once the 2014 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 2014 IRS Tax Return
Transcript(s).

• Online Request - Go to www.IRS.gov
, under the Tools heading on the IRS homepage, click on the “Get Transcript of Your Tax Records”. Click “Get

Use the Social Security Number (or the IRS individual taxpayer identification number) and the date of birth of the first person listed on the 2014 IRS
income tax return, and the address on file with the IRS (normally this will be the address used on the 2014 IRS income tax return).
In most cases, for electronic filers, 2014 IRS income tax return information is available for the IRS DRT or the IRS Tax Return Transcript within 2–3
weeks after the 2014 IRS income tax return has been accepted by the IRS. Generally, for filers of 2014 paper IRS income tax returns, the 2014 IRS
income tax information is available for the IRS DRT or the IRS Tax Return Transcript within 8–11 weeks after the 2014 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 or obtaining an IRS Tax Return
Transcript.
If the student and spouse filed separate 2014 IRS income tax returns, 2014 IRS Tax Return Transcripts must be provided for both.
