Guidelines for the Verification Process, 2023-24
What is Verification?
- Verification is the federal process of verifying or confirming the information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) like household information, tax information, etc. is accurate. Roughly 30% of all FAFSAs filed are selected for Verification.
- Marquette University will notify you if your FAFSA has been selected for verification and of the documentation to submit to us.
-
Complete and submit the 2023-2024 FAFSA to be considered for 2023-2024 financial aid. We strongly recommend completing the FAFSA early (available beginning October 1, 2022).
- File by January 15 at studentaid.gov/fafsa to meet the February 1 Priority Deadline.
- Use tax year 2021 income information.
- Electronically sign the FAFSA using FSA ID.

5. APPLICANT AND/OR PARENT NOT ELIGIBLE TO TRANSFER DATA

7. VERIFICATION OF IRA AND/OR PENSION ROLLOVERS
The IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) does not identify and exclude tax return IRA and/or Pension distributions that have been rolled over into another account. If you have an IRA and/or Pension Rollover on your 2021 Federal IRS Income Tax Return, review this chart to learn what happens and how to update the FAFSA information.
Tax Return IRA and Pension Rollovers and IRS DRT |
|||
|
What Happens with Your 2021 IRA and/or Pension Rollover When You Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT)? |
If you use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) to complete your FAFSA, the following will happen: If an amount greater than $0 is transferred from the IRS into the Untaxed Portions of IRA Distributions field or the Untaxed Portions of Pensions field in the FAFSA form, you will be required to answer a new question about whether or not that amount includes a rollover. If you answer “yes,” you will be required to provide the amount of the rollover in a new entry field. The amount you report as the rollover amount will then be subtracted from the amount of the IRA or Pension distribution that was transferred from the IRS. |
||
|
What Should You Do If You Have a 2021 IRA or Pensions Rollover When You Did Not/Could Not Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT)? |
Step #1: Do not attempt to correct the information yourself. Enter the tax information exactly as it is shown on your IRS Form 1040 |
Step #2: Provide the following to Marquette Central: A signed written statement/request for correction to your FAFSA Untaxed IRA and/or Pension Rollover with the 2021 rollover amount *and* A copy of IRS Form 1099-R for all IRA or Pension distributions. *or* Provide the following to Marquette Central: A signed copy of your 2021 Federal Income Tax Return with the word ‘rollover’ handwritten next to the applicable line items *and* A copy of IRS Form 1099-R for all IRA or Pension distributions. |

We suggest the following if you run into problems:
- Have your taxes in front of you and enter the address carefully as it is on your return.
- If you entered your address as it appears on your return and it doesn’t work, try using the standardized version of your address.
- To get a standardized version of your address:1) go to com 2) Click or tap Look Up a Zip Code 3) Enter Street Address, City, State 4) Click or tap Find
- If you still have problems, the IRS.gov Website Help Desk can be reached toll-free at (800) 876-1715, Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).
