Verification Worksheet (page 1 of 2)
Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for ‘verification’. Federal regulations state that before awarding Federal
Student Aid, your school must verify the information you and your parent(s) reported on your FAFSA. To complete this verification process,
we will compare your FAFSA information with the information on this worksheet and your parent’s verification worksheet and other
required documents. If there are differences, we will make the appropriate corrections to your FAFSA. After we have reviewed your
documents, we may request additional information. If you have questions, please contact our office for assistance. Submit all requested
documents to ‘CWC - ATTN: Rustler Central’ by mail, deliver in person, email to records@cwc.edu or fax to 307-855-2092.

Important Note: The instructions below apply to the student.

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 student 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 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 2.
The student has not yet used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web,
but will log back into the 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 2.
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).
Instructions: Complete this section if the student will not file and is
