• 2 years prior Federal Tax Return forms or IRS Tax Return Transcript. (Transcripts are available online at the IRS website) If you successfully used the IRS Data Retrieval Tool and did not change any of the data, the transcript is not required.
• If you are an independent student or a parent of a dependent student and you did not file taxes, you will be required to submit proof from the IRS that you did not file taxes 2 years prior to the start of the academic year (i.e. for the 2021-2022 academic year it is required proof of non-filing for 2019.)

Check your "To Do List" on the Student Portal ​to identify any documentation that you need to submit.

If you are attending both Fall and Spring semesters, the documentation must be submitted by the last day of the school year. If you are only attending one semester, the documentation must be received by the end of the semester.
