SECTION 3: DID THE STUDENT FILE A 2018 INCOME TAX RETURN WITH THE IRS?
YES, STUDENT DID FILE COMPLETE THIS COLUMN
Important Note: The instructions below apply to the student and
spouse (if married). Notify the financial aid office if the student or
spouse filed separate 2018 IRS Form 1040 tax returns or had a
change in marital status after December 31, 2018. If the student
and spouse filed separate 2018 IRS income tax returns, the IRS DRT
cannot be used and the 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a
signed copy of the 2018 IRS Form 1040 (with all schedules) for
BOTH the student and spouse must be submitted.
Instructions: Complete this section if the student and spouse (if
married) filed or will file a 2018 IRS Form 1040 tax return. 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 student has used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web to
transfer 2018 IRS income tax return information into the student’s
FAFSA. Go to the Certification / Signatures on page 4.
The student has not yet used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web,
but will log back into the student’s FAFSA and use the tool to
transfer 2018 IRS income tax return information into the student’s
FAFSA. Go to the Certification / Signatures on page 4.
The student is unable or chooses not to use the IRS DRT in
FAFSA on the Web, and instead will provide the institution with a
2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a signed copy of the 2018 IRS
Form 1040 (with all schedules).
The student has filed a 2018 Amended IRS Income Tax Return
(1040X). The student must provide TWO documents: 1) a signed
copy of the 2018 IRS Form 1040X (Amended U.S. Individual
Income Tax Return) or documentation that the IRS made
change(s), and 2) a 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript (that will
include information from the original tax return), or any other IRS
tax transcript(s) that includes all of the income and tax information
required to be verified; or a signed copy of the original 2018 IRS
Form 1040 (with all schedules) that was filed.
Check here if a 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a signed
IRS Form 1040 (with all schedules) has been submitted to CWC.
Go to the Certification / Signatures on page 4.
Check here if a 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a signed
