*Additional forms may be required if you are selected for federal verification. You will be notified via school correspondence if further paperwork is necessary.
We recommend filing 2011 federal income tax return(s) electronically before completing the FAFSA to receive the most accurate financial aid package possible. Select the IRS Data Retrieval tool* when filing the FAFSA to transfer 2011 federal income tax return information directly to the FAFSA.
- Tax data should be available through the IRS Data Retrieval process 1-2 weeks after electronically filing 2011 federal income tax return(s).
- If mailing return(s), it can take 6-8 weeks for data to be available through the IRS Data Retrieval process.
*You are unable to use this IRS Data Retrieval tool option if any of the following apply:
- You are married and filed separately.
- If your marital status changed after December 31, 2011.
- If you filed an amended tax return.
