Your application was selected for review in a process called “Verification.” In this process, the Financial Aid Office will be comparing information from your application with the information that you fill out on this form.
In the past, Hagerstown Community College has needed both signed Federal Tax Returns and W2s from students (spouses) and parents of dependent students who were selected for Verification. However for 2012-2013, students (spouses) and parents of dependent students will need to submit an IRS Tax Transcript if requested, which must be obtained from an Internal Revenue Service Office, not your tax preparer. Check "My Financial Aid Documents” under the Student Communication tab on Web Advisor to determine if you need to submit Tax Transcripts with this form.
If you need to submit IRS Tax Transcripts, click here [1] for the instructions on how to obtain them.
Please note: Importing your tax info with IRS data retrieval tool on the FAFSA may save you the trip to the IRS office.
The law says we have the right to ask you for this information before awarding Federal aid. If there are differences between your application information and your financial documents, the Financial Aid Office may need to make corrections electronically.
Submit this form ONLY if it is requested on WebAdvisor under "My Financial Aid Documents", or requested to accompany another form.
Print this form, fill out completely and return it with any other requested information.
