Your application was selected for a process called federal verification. As part of the Academic Year 2024-25 verification process, you are required to submit a copy of your (and your spouse's) 2022 IRS Tax Return Transcript or a signed copy of the 2022 income tax return with all related schedule forms.
Please be advised that WE CANNOT PHOTOCOPY TAX RETURN TRANSCRIPTS OR TAX RETURNS FOR YOU.
NOTE: If you are applying for the 2023-2024 school year, a 2021 Tax Return Transcript or tax return is required.
If you do not have a copy of your 2022 IRS Tax Return Transcript or tax return you may create an account on the IRS website (http://irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript)to download a copy, or call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946.
If you (and/or your spouse) did not and will not file a tax return, you must report this on the Independent Verification Worksheet where indicated.
What to do if you (or your spouse) did not file a tax return:
Please fill out the 24-25 Non-filing Verification form available on our Financial Aid Forms page here: https://pencol.edu/financial-aid-office/financial-aid-forms
Submit it to the Financial Aid Office with your (and/or your spouse's) W-2 forms from 2022 attached (if you had income earned from working.)
REMEMBER to make sure your name and Student ID is on each page of your tax transcript.
If you have questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 360-417-6390 or financialaid@pencol.edu
