If your FAFSA is selected for verification, and you did not use the IRS Data Retrieval option, or you changed the IRS data, you will be required to request a tax transcript (not a Tax Account Transcript or Record of Account) from the IRS or provide a signed copy of your IRS Federal Tax Return to our office.
Click on the following icon:
Enter the requested information and click Continue.
To use the Get Transcript Online tool, the user must have (1) access to a valid email address, (2) a text-enabled mobile phone (pay-as-you-go plans cannot be used) in the user’s name, and (3) specific financial account numbers (such as a credit card number or an account number for a home mortgage or auto loan). The transcript displays online upon successful completion of the IRS’s two-step authentication.
Select "Return Transcript" for the Type of Transcript, select the tax year requested for Tax Year, and click Continue. If successfully validated, tax filers can expect to receive a paper IRS Tax Return Transcript at the address on file with the IRS within 5 to 10 business days. IRS Tax Return Transcripts cannot be sent to an address other than the one on file with the IRS.
Once received, deliver the Tax Return Transcript to the Scholarships & Financial Aid office with your W number on the tax return transcript.
Call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946.
Tax filers must follow prompts to enter the primary tax filer's social security number and the numbers in their street address. Generally, this will be numbers of the street address that were listed on the latest tax return filed. However, if an address change has been completed either through the IRS or the US Postal Service, the IRS may have the updated address on file. For a joint tax return, use the primary tax filer's social security number, date of birth, street address, and zip or postal code.
Select "Option 2" to request an IRS Tax Return Transcript and then enter the tax year requested.
