Verification of 2018 IRS Income Tax Return
Information for Student Tax Filers
Name __________________________________________ NCC Student ID ____________________________
Important Note: The instructions below apply to the student and spouse, if the student is married. Notify the financial
aid office in writing if the student or spouse filed separate IRS income tax returns for 2018 or had a change in marital
status after the end of the 2018 tax year on December 31, 2018.
Instructions: Complete this section if the student and spouse filed or will file
a 2018 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 2018 IRS income tax return information that
was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS DRT if that information was not changed.
In most cases, for electronic filers, 2018 IRS income tax return information for the IRS DRT is available within 2–3
weeks after the 2018 electronic IRS income tax return has been accepted by the IRS.
Check the box that applies:
☐ The student has used
the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web to transfer 2018 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
2018 IRS income tax return information into the student’s FAFSA once the 2018 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 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) (signature not required) or will provide the
school with a 2018 IRS Tax Return (signature required).
To obtain a 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript, go to www.IRS.gov
and click on the “Order a Return
or Account Transcript” link, or call 1-800-908-9946. Make sure to request the “IRS Tax Return
Transcript” and not the “IRS Tax Account Transcript.” Use the Social Security Number and date of
birth of the first person listed on the 2018 IRS income tax return, and the address on file with the
IRS (normally this will be the address used on the 2018 IRS income tax return). In most cases, for
electronic filers, a 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript may be requested from the IRS within 2–3
weeks after the 2018 IRS income tax return has been accepted by the IRS. Generally, for filers of
2018 paper IRS income tax returns, the 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript may be requested within
8–11 weeks after the 2018 paper IRS income tax return has been received by the IRS.
If the student and spouse filed separate 2018 IRS income tax returns, 2018 IRS Tax Return
Transcripts or 2018 IRS Tax Return must be provided for both.
☐ Check here if a 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or 2018 IRS Tax Return is provided with
this form.
