Verification of 2018 Income Information for Parent Tax Filers:
Important Note: The instructions below apply to each parent included in the household. Notify the financial aid office if the parents filed separate
IRS income tax returns for 2018 or had a change in marital status after December 31, 2018.
Instructions: Complete this section if the parents filed or will file a 2018 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 2018
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 parents have used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web to transfer 2018 IRS income tax return information into the student’s FAFSA.
The parents have not yet used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web, but will use the tool to transfer 2018 IRS income tax return information
into the student's FAFSA.
The parents are unable or choose not to use the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web, and instead will provide the school with a signed copy of the
2018 IRS Tax Return (s) and applicable schedules or a copy of the 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s).
A 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript may be obtained through:
• Get Transcript by MAIL – Go to www.irs.gov, under the Tools heading, click "Get a tax transcript.” Click “Get Transcript by MAIL.”
Make sure to request the “IRS Tax Return Transcript” and NOT the “IRS Tax Account Transcript.” The transcript is generally received
within 10 business days from the IRS’s receipt of the online request.
• Get Transcript ONLINE – Go to www.irs.gov, under the Tools heading, click "Get a tax transcript." Click “Get Transcript ONLINE.”
Make sure to request the “IRS Tax Return Transcript” and NOT the “IRS Tax Account Transcript.” To use the Get Transcript Online
tool, the user must have (1) access to a valid email address, (2) a text-enabled mobile phone (pay-as-you-go plans cannot be used) in the
user’s name, and (3) specific financial account numbers (such as a credit card number or an account number for a home mortgage or auto
loan). The transcript displays online upon successful completion of the IRS’s two-step authentication.

Return Transcript(s) must be provided for each.
