If you are missing documents, you can get copies from the IRS. If you are missing your tax returns, you can request a tax return transcript, and if you are missing your W-2s, you can request a wage and income transcript.


If you were not required to file a federal tax return for the most recent tax year, you must submit a signed non-filer statement confirming that you were not required to file and explain your household income and sources of support. In some cases, we may also request an IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter, which can be requested using IRS Form 4506-T.


We will contact you if any additional documentation is needed to complete the review of your financial aid application.
