What is the difference between the tax return and the tax return transcript?

Page edited by Cory Ziegenfuss

Tell Me

The tax return is a form filed with the IRS that is used to determine an individual’s tax liability. Forms include the 1040, the 1040A, or the 1040EZ.

The tax return transcript is a document tax filers can request from the IRS that includes the information submitted on the tax return.  It does not include any changes the tax filer or the tax preparer made after filing the original tax return.

The Department of Education (DOE) does not allow schools to accept the tax return (1040 form) for verification purposes. Students and parents should request the tax return transcript.

No, independent students should at least include themselves in the household. You should list yourself even if you do not provide more than 50% of your own financial support.

You should include the parent that provides more than 50% of your financial support and all of their dependents (and spouse, if remarried).  Please be sure to include yourself in the household.

Page added by Cory Ziegenfuss

Tell Me

When a FAFSA is submitted, the Department of Education (DOE) links to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to confirm that the applicant is a citizen or an eligible non-citizen. If the information at either of these agencies does not match the information supplied on the FAFSA, DOE requires the educational institution to verify the student’s citizenship status. Students should review the comments on their SAR to determine which agency should be contacted to resolve the mismatch.

The selection process for verification is random. Not only is it possible to never be selected, but it is also possible to be selected for multiple years. Having certain characteristics or completing the FAFSA incorrectly will not automatically flag your application for verification.

Page added by Cory Ziegenfuss

Tell Me

Verification is the process of confirming that information reported by the student and parent(s) or spouse on the FAFSA is accurate. Each year, approximately 30 percent of all student applicants are randomly selected by the federal processor for verification. A student may also be selected for verification by the university.

Students selected for verification will have a verification comment on their Student Aid Report (SAR – the output document received after completing the FAFSA). In addition, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will notify selected students via alerts on their myUMBC account if verification documentation is needed.
