C. Dependent Student’s Income Information to Be Verified
1. TAX RETURN FILERS
Instructions: Complete this section if the student filed or will file a 2017 IRS income tax return(s). The best way to verify income is by using the IRS
Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) that is part of FAFSA on the Web at FAFSA.gov. In most cases, no further documentation is needed to verify 2017
income information that was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS DRT if that information was not changed.
Student Name___________________________________ Student ID#_______________
In most cases, for electronic tax return filers, 2017 IRS income tax return information for the IRS DRT is available within 2–3 weeks after the 2017
electronic IRS income tax return has been accepted by the IRS. Generally, for filers of 2017 paper IRS income tax returns, the 2017 IRS income tax
return information is available for the IRS DRT within 8–11 weeks after the 2017 paper IRS income tax return has been received by the IRS. Contact
the financial aid office if more information is needed about using the IRS DRT.
Check the box that applies:
The student has used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web to transfer 2017 IRS income tax return information into the student’s FAFSA.
The student has not yet used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web, but will use the tool to transfer 2017 IRS income tax return information into
the student’s FAFSA once the 2017 IRS income tax return has been filed.
The student is unable or chooses not to use the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web, and instead will provide the school a 2017 IRS Tax Return
