Verification of 2019 Income Information for
Student Tax Filers:
Important Note: The instructions below apply to the student and spouse, if the student is married. Notify the financial aid office if the student or
spouse filed separate IRS income tax returns for 2019 or had a change in marital status after December 31, 2019.
Instructions: Complete this section if the student filed or will file
a 2019 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 2019
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 2019 IRS income tax return information into the student’s FAFSA.
The student has not yet used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web but will use the tool to transfer 2019 IRS income tax return information into
the student’s FAFSA.
The student is unable or chooses not to use the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web, and instead will provide the school with a signed copy of the
2019 IRS Tax Return and applicable schedules or a copy of the 2019 IRS Tax Return Transcript.
A 2019 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.
• Automated Telephone Request – 1-800-908-9946. Transcript is generally received within 10 business days from the IRS’s receipt of the
telephone request.
• Paper Request Form – IRS Form 4506T-EZ or IRS Form 4506-T. The transcript is generally received within 10 business days from the
IRS’s receipt of the paper request form.
If the student and spouse filed separate 2019 IRS income tax returns, the IRS DRT cannot be used and the 2019 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a
signed copy of the 2019 income tax return and applicable schedules must be provided for each.
____ Check here if a signed copy of the 2019 IRS Tax Return or the Tax Return Transcript(s) is provided.
____ Check here if a signed copy of the 2019 IRS Tax Return or the Tax Return Transcript(s) will be provided later.
