COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION WHAT DOCUMENTATION IS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE FAFSA?

» IDENTIFICATION

Social Security Card and Driver’s License (or state ID) for you and your parent(s)

If you are not a U.S. citizen, documentation of your eligible noncitizen status

» INCOME TAX INFORMATION (PLEASE SEE CHART BELOW)

You and your parent(s) (or spouse) may be able to access your IRS tax return information to

complete the FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. If you are eligible, we highly recommend

using the tool for several reasons:

1. It is the easiest way to provide your tax data

2. It is the best way of ensuring that your FAFSA has accurate tax information

3. You shouldn’t need to provide a copy of your or your parents’ or spouse’s tax returns

If you are unable to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, you will need tax information to complete your FAFSA (e.g. for the 2018-2019 FAFSA,

you will need to use 2016 tax information). Please use the following as a guide to gather your documentation:

Your (and your spouse’s, if married) federal income tax return

Your parent(s) federal income tax return (if you are a dependent student)

W-2 forms or other records of income earned

Current bank statements and records of stocks, bonds, and other investments

Business or farm records, if applicable

Records of other untaxed income received, such as federal means benefits, Social Security, or military or clergy allowances
