Acceptable Documentation for Taxable Income
The best way to verify taxable income is by utilizing the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) that is part of the FAFSA on the Web at fafsa.gov. If you
are unable or choose not to use the IRS DRT, and you filed taxes in 2016, then you are required to submit your 2016 IRS Tax Return Transcript to
the Financial Aid & Scholarships office.
Do NOT email any IRS Tax Return Transcripts or other IRS documents (i.e. Form W-2, Form 4868, Verification of Non-filing Status, etc.) to our
office unless you securely encrypt the email attachments. For more information on encryption and data security, visit our website at
