Amended Tax Return for 2018-2019

If you or your parent have filed an amended tax return for the 2016 tax filing year, you will need to provide additional information to The Office of Student Financial Aid:

  1. 2016 Federal Tax Return Transcript and a copy of your 2016 1040X that you submitted to the IRS. We will accept a signed and dated paper copy of the 1040X, and then you will need to order the tax return transcript directly from the IRS
  2. 2016 Record of Account Tax Return Transcript (NOT to be confused with the Account Transcript, that will not be accepted).

 Here are a few options to obtain the documents:

  1. You can print your transcripts directly from the IRS website. If you are able to create an IRS account and print the transcript directly from the website, we recommend printing the 2016 Record of Account Tax Transcript (not the Account Transcript). If you print the Record of Account Transcript, we do not need the 1040X and the Tax Return Transcript since the Record of Account Tax Transcript includes everything we need for review.
  2. If you are unable to create an IRS account and you still live at the address on your 2016 tax return, select "Get Transcript by Mail" and complete the request for the 2016 tax transcript. The IRS will mail the transcript to the address listed on your 2016 tax return. Note: With the online mail request, the IRS does not have the option to mail the Record of Account Tax Transcript, so you will have to request the tax return transcript and also send us a copy of your signed and dated 2016 1040X.
  3. If you no longer have access to mail at the address on your 2016 tax return, you will need to order a transcript using the 4506T form from the IRS. Complete the 4506T from and request the Record of Account Tax Transcript from the year that ended Decemeber 31, 2016. 
  4. When you receive the transcript, please hand deliver, fax or mail the documents to our office. Please do not email the documents since they contain sensitive information. If you include a copy of your 2016 1040X, please sign and date the form.
