C. Dependent Student's Verification of 2018 Income Tax Return Information for Student Tax Filers
1. TAX RETURN FILERS—Important Note: The instructions below apply to the student. If you (the student) filed or will file an amended 2018 IRS tax return, or had a change in marital status after December 31, 2018, you must contact your financial aid administrator before completing this section.
Instructions: Complete this section if you, the student, filed or will file a 2018 IRS income tax return. The best way to verify income is by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) that is part of FAFSA on the Web at FAFSA.gov. If you have not already used the tool, go to FAFSA.gov. In most cases, no further documentation is needed to verify 2018 IRS income tax return information that was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS DRT if that information was not changed by the FAFSA filer.
