[Oasfaa] FSA Verification Guidance & Required Documentation Question

[myrna cross]

We are accepting the tax returns immediately and for the next year also
until they tell us we can't!!!!  We also created a form for Non filers to
sign if we/they have been unable to get the non filer letter.  It just
basically states they have tried and been unsuccessful in getting a
letter.  It also asks for W-2's or earning statements from employers.

The two that we've accepted this week were students that we faxed the
request to the IRS for them and have not received responses from in month
or more.
