验证

Once the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has been completed, the information is processed by the Department of Education 和 the results are sent to FAFSA上列出的所有大学以及学生. 一般来说，ED是检查 the applicant's eligibility requirements as well as looking for items that may be 基于预先确定的因素的不正确.

In some cases, the Department of Education may select a file for a process called 验证. If your FAFSA is selected, you will 需要 to submit signed copies 通过科林的财务援助门户网站提供某些财务文件.

The 验证 process requires that information from the student's FAFSA application be compared with copies of the student's, spouse's (if married) 和 parent's (if dependent) 联邦税务资料或其他财务文件. 除了税务文件， the school may require you to submit other documentation, information, or clarification 以确保FAFSA数据的准确性. 任何未完成要求的通知 is sent to students via e-mail (the e-mail account the student entered on the FAFSA). The student's Cougar Web account will also list the document requirements 和 the 状态.

Once the required document or documents are submitted, the 验证 processing staff will compare the information on the FAFSA with the information on the financial 文件，并将根据需要进行任何调整或更正. 如果提交 of the corrections is necessary (不 all differences require submission), the financial aid staff will electronically submit the changes on the student's behalf 寄给教育部，以便重新计算资格. 一旦调整 is reprocessed, the college will receive a new FAFSA with the corrected results which 将用于包装学生的经济援助奖励.

新的验证要求

The Department of Education instituted some changes to the 验证 process beginning 2012-2013年是获奖年度. 根据美国.S. 教育部亲爱的同事来信GEN 11-03:

Since most applicants can quickly 和 easily access IRS data through the FAFSA's IRS数据检索 process, we no longer consider it reasonable for an institution to accept anything less than reliable IRS-supplied evidence for 验证 of income data. 因此, if an applicant selected for 验证, who has 不 successfully transferred information from the IRS, or one who did transfer the information but then changed it, the Department expects the institution to require the applicant, 和 if necessary the applicant's parents, to provide an official IRS transcript of their Federal Income Tax information.

这意味着什么?

Students 和 parents can no longer submit a signed copy of their Federal tax 返回s 作为确认在FAFSA上报告的收入的手段. 填写收入时 sections of the FAFSA, the applicant is given the option to have this data retrieved 直接来自国税局.

If applicants decide 不 to use the IRS data retrieval process 和 the application is selected for 验证, the applicant 和 parents will 需要 to submit 美国国税局纳税记录. 如果从IRS检索到的税务信息发生了变化 on the FAFSA, the applicant (和/or parents) will 需要 to submit an IRS Tax 成绩单.

However, if the retrieved data is 不 changed, then 美国国税局纳税记录 will 不需要.

有特殊情况的报税人

The IRS Tax Retrieval tool may 不 be available for the applicant (or parents) in 下列情形:

A joint tax 返回 was filed for the tax year, but the student or the student's parents have filed the FAFSA with a marital 状态 of separated, divorced or widowed.
If the tax filer is married to someone other than the individual on the joint tax 返回.
If the parent or student was 不 married in the tax year, but is married at the time FAFSA被归档. 现任配偶的收入必须 bet9备用登录地址FAFSA的报道.

If the parents or the student are married, but filed separate 返回s.
