<p>So i just got a notice in a mail that i was selected for VERIFICATION and i have a couple of questions. Any help would be appreciated </p>
<ol>
<li>This letter was sent by a college that i would not be attending, but do i have to sent it back to them?
2.the form said attach the signed copies of the tax return, am i only attaching the tax return page where their is a signature or the whole packet?</li>
</ol>
<p>no one knows?</p>
<p>If you know for sure you’re not attending you don’t need to send it. If you were sending it, you’d send all the pages of the signed tax form.</p>
<p>The forms are specific to each college. If you know for sure that you are not attending that college, you need not bother with the form.</p>
<p>I got the same thing, but if you were selected for verification by fafsa, then all of the schools you applied for financial aid too are going to require their own extra forms.
I would look at your financial aid status, print out the required forms, and send everything ASAP.</p>
<p>That’s not necessarily true. Last year my daughter’s FAFSA was selected for verification, however one school requrested our tax documents but another school did not. The schools don’t have to collect supporting documents from every one that FAFSA selected for verification. They do have to verify about 30% of the applicants.</p>
<p>You should only send the tax documents or other forms to school’s that specifically request it, and then only send them what they specifically ask for.</p>
<p>Both colleges and the feds can select FAFSAs to be verified. So far I get the impression that the verification requests my family has seen have come directly from the colleges. After the paperwork for verification was sent in, our family got a very fine financial aid offer from one of those colleges.</p>
<p>But even if a FAFSA is selected for verification (with the * on the SAR), it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll actually have to go through the verification process. It is up to the schools to request verification documents, but they won’t necessarily request them from every student who had an * on their SAR. If a school doesn’t request the tax documents, don’t send them.</p>
