<p>When I received my EFC today, there was an asterisk by it. The help page on the FAFSA website just says "An asterisk '*' that displays next to the EFC indicates that the transaction has been selected for verification." What does this mean?</p>
<p>all it means is that when you have your 1040 forms filled out, you send them a signed copy for both you and your parents including copies of w-2 forms( you send it to the school that you are going to attend)
It isn't anything to worry about , they all ask for it</p>
<p>Thanks! I just wondered what it was they were going to verify (my taxes, or that my EFC is correct based on the information I submitted).</p>
