2020-21 Parent - [V1 or V5]
Verification Worksheet (page 1 of 3)
Your student’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for ‘verification’. Federal regulations state that before
awarding Federal Student Aid, your school must verify the information both the student and parent(s) reported on the FAFSA. To complete
this verification process, we will compare the FAFSA information with the information on this worksheet and other required documents. If
there are differences, we will make the appropriate corrections to the student’s FAFSA. After we have reviewed all documents, we may
request additional information. If you have questions, please contact our office for assistance. Submit all requested documents to ‘CWC -
ATTN: Rustler Central’ by mail, deliver in person, email to records@cwc.edu or fax to 307-855-2092.

SECTION 3: DID PARENT(S) FILE A 2018 INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX RETURN WITH THE IRS?
YES, PARENT(S) DID FILE - COMPLETE THIS COLUMN
Important Note: The instructions below apply to each parent
included in the household. Notify the financial aid office if the
parents filed separate IRS income tax returns for 2018 or had a
change in marital status after December 31, 2018. If the parent(s)
filed separate 2018 IRS income tax returns, the IRS DRT cannot be
used and the 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a signed copy
of the 2018 IRS Form 1040 (with all schedules) for BOTH parents
must be submitted.
Instructions: Complete this section if the parents filed or will file
a 2018 IRS income tax return(s). The best way to verify income is
by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) that is part of FAFSA
on the Web at FAFSA.gov. In most cases, no further
documentation is needed to verify 2018 income information that
was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS DRT if that
information was not changed. Check the box that applies:
The parents have used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the Web to
transfer 2018 IRS income tax return information into the
student’s FAFSA. Go to the Certification / Signatures on page 3.
The parents have not yet used the IRS DRT in FAFSA on the
Web, but will log back into the student’s FAFSA and use the tool
to transfer 2018 IRS income tax return information into the
student's FAFSA. Go to the Certification / Signatures on page 3.
The parents are unable or choose not to use the IRS DRT in
FAFSA on the Web, and instead will provide the institution with a
2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a signed copy of the 2018
Form 1040 (with all schedules).
The parent has filed a 2018 Amended IRS Income Tax Return
(1040X). They must provide TWO documents: 1) a signed copy of
the 2018 IRS Form 1040X (Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax
Return) or documentation that the IRS made change(s), and 2) a
2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript (that will include information
from the original tax return), or any other IRS tax transcript(s) that
includes all of the income and tax information required to be
verified; or a signed copy of the original 2018 IRS Form 1040
(with all schedules) that was filed.
Check here if a 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a signed
IRS Form 1040 (with all schedules) has been submitted to CWC.
Go to the Certification / Signatures on page 3.
Check here if a 2018 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s) or a signed
