Verification Forms:
What is an IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter?
An IRS Verification of Non-filing letter provides proof that the IRS has no record of a filed Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ for the year requested. This document is required for non-tax filers.
Non Tax filers can request an IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter, free of charge, from the IRS by completing IRS Form 4506-T. Mail or fax the completed IRS Form 4506-T to the address (or Fax number) provided on page 2 of Form 4506-T.
Please do not mail, email, and/or fax IRS Form 4506-T to our office. Do not have your IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter sent directly to ECSU.
There is also the option of submitting the non-filer form below if you have attempted but are unsuccessful at obtaining the document from the IRS.
What is a Tax Return Transcript?
An IRS Tax Return Transcript is required as proof of income and federal taxes paid for verification purposes. Students and/or parents who utilize the IRS Data Retrieval Tool and do not make changes to their tax information do not need to submit the IRS Tax Return Transcript. All other student/parents who are selected for verification must submit the IRS Tax Return Transcript. Requesting the transcript online is the quickest method but not all taxpayers can use this option.
