Verification Procedures
Verification is the process established by the Department of Education to check the accuracy of aid applications. If you are selected for verification, you will need to complete the specific worksheet for the aid year requested and your dependency status.
The 2012-2013 Verification forms are for the 2012-2013 FAFSAs which cover Fall 2012-Summer 2013.
The 2011-2012 Verification forms are for the 2011-2012 FAFSAs which cover Fall 2011-Summer 2012.
Dependent students must submit:
- Student's prior year Federal IRS Tax Transcript
- Parent's prior year Federal IRS Tax Transcript
- All W2's, 1099's and supporting schedules
Independent students must submit:
- Student/Spouse prior year Federal IRS Tax Transcript
- All W2's, 1099's and supporting schedules
IRS Tax Transcript can be requested by completing Form 4506-T and faxing it to the number provided or by calling 800-908-9946. You may request to have the Tax Transcript mailed to you or directly to our office. Upon receipt of the Tax Transcript, please mail and attach requested supporting documents such as W2s. Once all documents are received, we will make any necessary corrections to your FAFSA. If additional information is required, we will contact you. For Georgia Tech students with OSCAR accounts, real-time information on these requirements is available at oscar.gatech.edu.
Please note: There are significant changes between the 2012-2013 FAFSA and the 2011-2012 FAFSA. Please pay attention to which forms you are using so that you do not fill out the incorrect form for the incorrect year.
You may fax your forms to us at 404.894.7412 or mail them to
