Verification

Verification is the process of checking the accuracy of the information you provide when you apply for federal student aid from the U.S. Department of Education. The U.S. Department of Education is required to select 30% of all federal aid applicants for verification. If your Student Aid Report indicates your application has been selected by the federal processor for verification, you must supply additional information to the financial aid office within 30 days of notification.

Note: When an electronic tax return is filed, the filer also submits IRS Form 8453, which does not have enough information and cannot be used for verification. Your tax filer can provide you with a print out of the tax information that was submitted to the IRS or if you filed from your home computer, the software should allow you to print out this information. A signed copy of either of these reports along with your W-2 forms is acceptable for verification purposes. Contact the IRS at 800-829-4506 for information on obtaining a copy of your tax information if you cannot obtain a copy from other sources.
