Greetings Colleagues!

Since FSA released guidance about changes to 2018-19 and 2019-20 verification requirements<https://ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements/010919Chngsto1819and1920VerificationReq.html>, I am curious what other institutions are doing.  Do you plan to revert back to accepting signed 1040s or are you sticking to the IRS tax return transcript?   I realize that this guidance comes at a time when students are experiencing issues with the IRS' online "Get Transcript" due to scheduled maintenance, so I'm not asking about short term solutions to the current problem.  I am, however, looking for your long term plans with your overall verification policy and any adjustments your institution is making to the required documentation that you will accept  (specifically, IRS tax return transcripts and non-filing letters).

Thank you,
Karen

We happily started taking 1040s, etc. yesterday right after we got the word from NASFAA.  So now our students and parents have three options-use the IRS DRT, get us a tax return transcript, or give us a signed copy of their 1040/1040A/1040EZ.

My impression from the announcement at FSA that going back to accepting 1040s was long-term.  I don't believe the information was put out there as a Plan B just in case the government shutdown.  I'd be curious to hear from others who heard the announcement at FSA.  What was your impression?

Happy start of spring semester, everyone!
Linda

Yes, Linda, that's what we understood from FSA as well.  We immediately started taking 1040's yesterday after the email from NASFAA.
