Your 2020-2021 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 and
make any necessary corrections to your FAFSA. 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 and/or your parent(s) if dependent cannot use the IRS DRT, you must provide a signed and dated 2018 Tax Return OR
IRS Tax Return Transcript. 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 2018 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 2018 IRS Tax Return, you must provide a Verification of Non-filing
