Instructions: The best way to verify income is by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool that is part of FAFSA on the Web. If you have not already used
the tool, go to FAFSA.gov, log into 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 2018 IRS
income tax information into your FAFSA.
1. Student: Tax Filer
Check the box that applies:
I hav e used the IRS Data Retriev al Tool in FAFSA on the Web to retriev e and transfer 2018 IRS income information into my 2020-2021
FAFSA, either on the initial FAFSA or when making a correction to the FAFSA. GCU will use the IRS information that was transferred for the
verificat ion process.
I am unable or choose not to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in FAFSA on the Web, and will submit to the school a 2018 IRS Tax Return
Transcript or, if I'm unable to obtain a transcript, a signed paper copy of the 2018 IRS tax return that was submitted to the IRS. You may
find the transcript at https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript and then click “Get Transcript Online.” You must have access to a
valid email address, a text-enabled mobile phone in your name, and specific financial account numbers (such as a credit card number or
an account number for a home mortgage or auto loan). Make sure to request the “Return Transcript” and not the “Account Transcript." If
"Get Transcript Online" is not available, click on "Get Transcript by Mail" or call 1-800-908-9946.
Check here if your IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or signed tax return(s) is attached to this worksheet.
Check here if your IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or signed tax return(s) will be submitted to GCU later. Verification
cannot be completed until the IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or signed tax return(s) has been submitted to GCU.
