2023-2024 Verification Forms: Summer 2023/Fall 2023/Spring 2024

Request Tax Information

For the 2024-2025 FAFSA and beyond, the student, student's spouse (if applicable and if they did not file jointly), the parent (dependent student's only), and the parent's spouse (if applicable and if they did not file jointly) must each sign into the FAFSA as a contributor, consent to having their tax information transferred directly from the IRS into the FAFSA, and sign the FAFSA. Failure to provide consent from either the student or any other contributor will cause the FAFSA to be rejected, and aid will be unable to be processed.

Request Tax Return Transcript

When your FAFSA is selected for verification, you may be required to provide your tax information from a previous tax year. You may provide a signed copy of your Federal Tax Return, or you may request a copy of your Tax Return Transcript from the IRS online or by paper.
