Why do I have to provide tax returns and W-2s to the Financial Aid Office?
The U.S. Department of Education randomly selects at least 30% of applications for a process called verification. If you are selected, you must provide tax returns and W-2’s so the income data on your application can be verified as being correct. There are also occasions when data on the application does not appear to be correct, and the tax returns and W-2’s are requested to ensure correct information has been provided.
