2020 - 2021 Dependent Verification Worksheet (EDVW21)
Your application for Federal Financial Aid was selected for review in a process called "Verification." In this process, your school may
request documentation regarding your applicable tax filing status, 2018 W-2 forms, and other financial documents. Federal law (34
CFR, Part 668) requires schools to review this information and provides the school with the right to ask for this information before
awarding Federal aid. If there are differences between your application information and your financial documents, the school must
make corrections electronically using your Student Aid Report (SAR). DO NOT EMAIL documents with Personally Identifiable
Information (PII) (i.e. SSN, Full Name, Phone #, Address…).
Please note the IRS Tax Transcript is only needed if you or your parent(s) did not transfer your 2018 income directly from the IRS to
your FAFSA.
