20192020 INDEPENDENT STANDARD
VERIFICATION WORKSHEET
Your 2019-2020 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 reported on your FAFSA. To verify
that you provided correct information, we will compare your FAFSA with the information on this institutional verification document
and with any other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA information may need to be corrected. You must
complete and sign this institutional verification document, attach any required documents, and submit the form and other required
documents to us. We may ask for additional information. If you have questions about verification, contact us as soon as possible
so that your financial aid will not be delayed.
Deadline: To determine your eligibility for federal and/or state funds, your verification documents must be received by our office
no later than August 14, 2020 or 120 days after your last date of enrollment, whichever comes first. Failure to do so by the stated
deadline will result in a loss of eligibility for the current academic year.
MTC must review the requested information, under the financial aid program rules (34 CFR, Part 668).

C. STUDENT AND SPOUSE (IF MARRIED) INCOME TO BE VERIFIED
1. TAX RETURN FILERS omplete this section if the student and/or spouse (if married) filed or will file a 2017 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 2017 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:
Students
o
I have used the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in FAFSA on the web to transfer my 2017 IRS income information into the
student’s FAFSA.
o
I am unable or choose not to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in FAFSA on the web, and I am submitting to the school
a signed copy of my 2017 Federal Tax Return Form (1040) or my 2017 IRS Tax Return Transcript. (See below for
instructions on how to request an IRS Tax Return Transcript.)

later.
