Standard Verification V1
Financial Aid Office
2019-2020 Standard Verification Worksheet – V1
Your 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for a review process called Verification. In this
process, the Financial Aid Office (FAO) will compare information from your FAFSA with the information you provide on this
worksheet and other required documents. The law says that before awarding Federal Student Aid we must complete this process. If
there are differences between your FAFSA and the information you are providing on this worksheet, the FAO is required to make
corrections to your FAFSA.
Helpful Hints
Complete this form in PEN. Incomplete worksheets will not be accepted.
If you used the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) when submitting your FAFSA and did not make any recent changes, you still need
to complete this worksheet but will not need to submit additional tax information (unless requested by Financial Aid Office).
If you did not use the IRS DRT, you can correct your FAFSA using the IRS DRT. Go to www.fafsa.gov
, log in using your FSA
ID, click on Make FAFSA Correction, select Financial Information, and click on Link to IRS to complete the process.
If you cannot use the IRS DRT, you must provide a signed and dated 2017 Tax Return OR IRS Tax Return Transcript for you
and your legal parent(s) (if you are dependent). To request the Tax Return Transcript, go to www.irs.gov click on Get Your Tax
Record and complete the directions.
If you did not file a 2017 tax return, and are an independent student, you must provide a Verification of Non-filing Letter. If you
are a dependent student and your parent(s) did not file a 2017 IRS Tax Return, you must provide a Verification of Non-filing
Letter for your parents. You can request this letter from the IRS. You can go online to www.irs.gov
click on Get Your Tax Record
and complete the directions OR download, complete and mail in Form 4506-T (check box 7 on the form). The form is also
available in the Financial Aid Office.
