1516 INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION FORM (V1 / V5 / V6)
Your 2015 -2016 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for review in a process called Verification. The law says
before awarding Federal Student Aid, we may ask you to confirm the information you reported on your FAFSA. To verify that you provided
correct information the financial aid administrator at your school will compare your FAFSA with the information on this worksheet and with
any other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA information may need to be corrected. You must complete and sign
this worksheet, attach any required documents, and submit the form and other required documents to the financial aid administrator at
your school. Your school may ask for additional information. If you have questions about verification, contact your financial aid
administrator as soon as possible so your financial aid will not be delayed.

D. INDEPENDENT STUDENT'S TAX INFORMATION TO BE VERIFIED
Did you file / will file a 2014 tax return?

No, the student (and, if married, the student's spouse) DID NOT file a 2014 federal tax return.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you (or your spouse, if married) filed, or will file, an amended 2014 IRS tax return, you
must contact your financial aid administrator before completing this section. The best way to verify income is by using the
IRS Data Retrieval Tool that is part of FAFSA online. If you have not already used the tool, go to FAFSA.gov, log in to your
FAFSA record, select “Make FAFSA Corrections,” and navigate to the Financial Information section of the form. From there,
follow the instructions to determine if you are eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to transfer 2014 IRS income tax
information into your FAFSA. It takes up to two weeks for IRS income information to be available for the IRS Data Retrieval
Tool for electronic IRS tax return filers, and up to eight weeks for paper IRS tax return filers. If you need more information
about when, or how to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool see your financial aid administrator.
