NEW REQUIREMENT FOR 2012-2013

For the 2012-2013 year (includes summer and academic year), we can no longer accept federal tax return forms 1040EZ, 1040A and/or 1040. If we require documentation of your and/or your parents’ 2011 income, you will be required to provide an official IRS Tax Return Transcript. These forms can be requested online at www.irs.gov and a copy will be mailed directly to you within 5-10 days of the request.

However, the simplest and fastest manner to fulfill the tax transcript requirement is to use the IRS Data Retrieval tool available when filing or correcting your FAFSA. This tool allows data to be pulled directly from the IRS to populate the appropriate fields on your FAFSA. If at the time of filing your FAFSA, you or your parents have not yet filed federal taxes, you can go back in to your FAFSA at a later date to update with IRS data.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Financial Aid Office.
