Verification
IRS DATA RETRIEVAL TOOL
We highly encourage families to link their federal taxes to the 2022/2023 & 2023/2024 FAFSA.
Some students, upon completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), are selected for a review process called verification. Verification helps the school to confirm that the information filed on the FAFSA matches the income taxes filed in the prior year with the IRS and to verify the following:
- Household size
- Number in college
- Untaxed income
- Child support paid
If your FAFSA has been selected for verification, you will be notified of this on your Student Aid Report (SAR), from the Central Processor, and by your school of choice.
Failure to comply with verification will result in no federal or state aid being funded to you.
