E. Verification of 2019 Income Information for Parent Tax Filers
Complete this section if the parents 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.
Important Notes: 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 2019 or had a change in marital status after December 31, 2019. If
the parents 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 the box that applies:
The parents have used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web to transfer 2019 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 2019 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 institution with a 2019 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a
signed copy of the 201
9 income tax return and applicable schedules.
