Fill Out The Verification Worksheet
Only If You Have Been Requested To Do So
The DOE selects about 30% of SARs for verification. The Financial Aid Office may also choose a FAFSA for verification in order to resolve any questionable or conflicting information.
Please complete and submit the following by mail or fax so we may verify your FAFSA information:
- A signed copy of your and your spouse's 1040 federal tax form(s)
- Both must sign
- only need 1040 or 1040EZ; (do not need attachments, schedules, or addendums) - see 1040 blank example below
- A signed copy of your parents' 1040 federal tax form(s) if you are a dependent student
- Dependency status is determined by your FAFSA results
- only need 1040 or 1040EZ; (do not need attachments, schedules, or addendums) - see 1040 blank example below
- A copy of your and your spouse's/parent's W2 form(s) if any of your FAFSA answers came off of your W2 information
