Notice about Suspension of the IRS Data Retrieval Tool

In response to concerns about the impact of the suspension of the Internal Revenue Service Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) on students and families who have been selected for verification of their Free Application for Federal Student Aid/Institutional Student Information Record (FAFSA) information, the Department of Education provided institutions with other options they may choose to use as part of their verification procedures.

IRS Tax Return Filers: In lieu of using the IRS DRT, or obtaining an IRS transcript, WSU will accept a signed paper copy of the 2015 IRS tax return that was used by the tax filer for submission to the IRS as acceptable documentation to verify FAFSA/ISIR tax return information.

Verification of Nonfiling: WSU is no longer required to collect documentation obtained from the IRS verifying that the applicant, the applicant’s spouse, or the applicant’s parents did not file a 2015 tax return (often referred to as Verification of Nonfiling). However, as currently required, the applicant, the applicant’s spouse, or the applicant’s parents, as applicable, must provide to the institution the following:
