Verification

Verification is the process of reviewing a student’s FAFSA for accuracy. If you are selected for verification, you will be asked to provide additional information. The Financial Aid Office will help you through this process by identifying what forms you need to complete, or what documents you need to provide. You will be notified on your DMACC email and be asked to login to the online document portal to view requirements if you are selected for verification.

IRS Tax Information

The IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) is available to use to import your tax information from the IRS into your FAFSA. The IRS DRT remains the fastest, most accurate way to input your tax return information into the FAFSA form. You can access the IRS DRT from your FAFSA.

If you are not able to use the IRS DRT you can provide a signed copy of your federal 1040 and supporting tax schedules. Or you can request a Tax Return Transcript free of charge from the IRS in one of four ways.

  • Online Request: Go to the IRS website and select "Get Transcript Online". (Be sure to disable pop‐up blockers).
  • Mail Request: Go to the IRS website and select "Get Transcript by Mail".
