C.
STUDENT AND SPOUSE (IF MARRIED) INCOME TO BE VERIFIED
1. TAX RETURN FILERS
Complete this section if the student and/or spouse (if married) filed or will file a 2018 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 www.studentaid.gov. In most
cases, no further documentation is needed to verify 2018 income information that was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS
DRT if that information was not changed.

a signed copy of my 2018 Federal Tax Return Form (1040 with all applicable schedules) or my 2018 IRS Tax
