Verification of FAFSA Tax Items
Webinar:Wednesday, December 10 at 10:00AM
In our second webinar, we will look at the 2026-2027 FAFSA data to be verified and documentation requirements for verification. This will include what to do when a contributor has successfully matched their FAFSA and IRS records, and the IRS has populated their ISIR with Federal Tax Information, and what to do when there is no FTI in the contributor’s record.
We will discuss amended tax returns, identity theft, rollovers, foreign non-filers, and other unusual situations that might come up. Requirements for both 1040 filers, foreign and territory tax return filers, domestic non-filers, and foreign non-filers will be covered.
Originally scheduled 10/22, changed due to federal register not being available with the 2026-2027 FAFSA Information to be Verified update.
