2026-2027 Independent Student Verification Group V1

Your FAFSA was randomly selected by the U.S. Department of Education for a review process called “Verification.” Verification must be completed before your financial aid awards will be determined. If there are differences between your FAFSA and this information, we will update your FAFSA and recalculate your Student Aid Index (SAI). Complete verification as soon as possible so that your financial aid won’t be delayed.

Tax Information

Both the student and the spouse are required to submit processed 2024 Federal Tax information. The only acceptable methods to submit tax information are listed below:

Direct Data Exchange – Directly import your 2024 IRS data into your 2026-2027 FAFSA by logging into studentaid.gov and select “Make Correction”. This tool allows you to consent for the exchange of federal tax information into your FAFSA. The process enables the FAFSA to retrieve income and tax data directly from the IRS.
- Keep in mind that if you are married, but filed taxes separately, you and your spouse will both need to consent to use the direct data exchange.
Signed Copy of Federal Income Tax Return – Provide a SIGNED copy of your (and your spouse) 2024 1040 Federal Income Tax Return and Schedules 1-6.
IRS Tax Return Transcript – Submit your (and your spouse) 2024 Tax Return Transcript. You can order the transcript by online at irs.gov or via automated telephone request by calling 1-800-908-9946. You may also complete IRS Form 4506-T and check mark box 6a. Please make sure you request an IRS Tax Return Transcript NOT the IRS Account Transcript.
Verification of Non-Filing Letter – If the student or spouse did not file 2024 taxes, and are not required to file taxes, then they must request a Verification of Non-Filing Letter from the IRS by submitting IRS Form 4506-T, check marking box 7.
Amended Taxes – If the student or spouse filed an amended 2024 IRS tax return, please submit your original 2024 IRS Tax Return Transcript and a signed copy of the 2024 IRS Form 1040X that was filed with the IRS.
