IRS Data Retrieval Tool (ONLY for 2015 Tax Filers who have an FSA ID): Re-sign and re-submit the FAFSA after using the DRT.
The easiest way to verify income information for tax filers is to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) when completing the FAFSA on the Web
.
To use the DRT, the student must log in to his/her FAFSA at fafsa.gov with his/her FSA ID and select “Make Corrections.
If the student was a 2015 tax filer and is attempting to use the DRT, the student will need to update the STUDENT 2015 tax return status, type of
return, and filing status. DRT follow-up questions will determine the student’s eligibility to use the DRT. If the student is eligible to use the DRT, a
button with the title “Link to IRS” or a hyperlink titled “View option to link to IRS” will be available on the screen. On the IRS website, confirm that the
student information is correct, and type in the exact address used to file 2015 taxes. Click the “Transfer Now” button. The student should review the
information before submitting. Information that was transferred will say “Transferred from IRSon the FAFSA. Do not change these values, or the
information will not be accepted for verification.
If the parent(s) were 2015 tax filer(s) and are trying to use the DRT, a parent will need to update the parent 2015 tax return status, type of return,
and filing status. If the parent tax filer is eligible to use the DRT, the parent will need to enter their PARENT FSA ID (only one parent needs an FSA ID)
before the “Link to IRS” or “View option to link to IRS” option appears. The remainder of the process is THE SAME for the parent as the student.
2015 SIGNED Tax Return Transcript (Tax filers who did not or could not use the DRT):
Due to federal regulations, schools cannot accept tax returns. To request an IRS Tax Return Transcript, please visit www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-
Transcript to download and print your 2015 transcript immediately, or request the transcript be mailed to your address on record. Be sure to request a Tax
Return Transcript, NOT an Account Transcript. The tax filer must sign (handwritten signature only) and date the Tax Return Transcript before
submitting the document to EWC.
If you cannot get the transcript online, please download Form 4506-T by clicking on the “Transcript types” hyperlink on the IRS Get Transcript
website. Do NOT use the generic 4506 form as this requests tax returns rather than the required Tax Return Transcript. Transcripts can be sent directly to
EWC by entering EWC’s address on Line 5. If the tax filer does not send the transcript directly to EWC, then he/she will need to sign (handwritten
signature) and date the transcript before submitting. Transcripts can also be requested by calling the IRS Automated Telephone at 1-800-908-9946.
2015 SIGNED Verification of Nonfiling Letter (ONLY for those who did not file taxes OR for those who were granted an Extension):
To request an IRS Verification of Nonfiling Letter, please visit www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript to download and print your 2015
Verification of Nonfiling immediately, or request the letter be mailed to your address on record. The individual whose income is being verified will need
to sign (handwritten signature only) and date the Letter before submitting the document to EWC.
If you cannot get the letter online, please download Form 4506-T by clicking on the “Transcript types” hyperlink on the IRS Get Transcript
website. Do NOT use the generic 4506 form as this requests tax returns rather than the required Verification of Nonfiling Letter. Nonfiling letters can
sent directly to EWC by entering EWC’s address on Line 5. If the tax filer does not send the letter directly to EWC, then he/she will need to sign
(handwritten signature) and date the letter before submitting. You must check box 7 “Verification of Nonfiling” to request this document.
Self-Employment SIGNED Statement of 2015 Income
If you were self-employed and do not have W-2s available, you will need to submit a statement that includes your name(s), the type/name of your
business, your gross income, and why you were unable to provide W-2s (self-employment). The individual whose income is being verified will need to
sign (handwritten signature) and date the statement before submitting to EWC. PLEASE NOTE: if net earnings were $400 or more, you are required to
file a tax return. Please see the IRS Tax Guide (Page 6, Chapter 1).
