Verification of Non-tax Filing

Beginning with the 2017-18 award year, non-tax filers (student, spouse, or parent) who are selected for the verification process must provide verification of IRS non-tax filing to the financial aid office. This means that if you, your spouse, and/or your parent did not file a 2015 IRS income tax return, we need documentation from the IRS indicating that a 2015 IRS income tax return was not filed with the IRS. 

To satisfy this requirement you must complete the IRS Form 4506-T and send it to the IRS. You may print an IRS 4506-T form here or at www.irs.gov; enter 4506-T in the Forms search box. Follow these instructions:

  1. Form 4506-T is one page with two pages of instructions. Be sure to enter the correct Social Security number and write legibly. Complete lines 1a, 1b, and 3. Do not enter anything on line 5. On line 7, check the box at the extreme right. On line 9, enter 12 / 31 / 2015 for the tax period end date in the first box.
  2. Check the box above the Signature line. Sign and date the form. Enter your phone number. If you have a spouse or parent who also did not file a 2015 IRS income tax return, your spouse or parent must complete a separate Form 4506-T. 
  3. You must mail or fax the Form 4506-T to the Odgen, UT or to the Cincinnati, OH IRS processing center depending on where you lived in 2015. Refer to the instruction page to determine which one is appropriate for you. DO NOT send the form to the Austin, Fresno, or Kansas City centers, which are also listed in the instructions.
  4. Most Form 4506-T requests are processed within 10 business days. When you receive the written document from the IRS, please send it to us at the address or fax number listed below. If the name on the IRS document is different than yours, please indicate your name on the document so that we may match it to your file and explain if it is for your spouse or parent.
