Question:

Why does Wayland require submission of tax documents, when I have already submitted the information on the FAFSA?

Answer:

In order to benefit the student and accurately award each student’s aid according to federal guidelines, it is University policy that the WBU Financial Aid Staff verify each student file. In order to complete such verification process, all supporting documentation must be supplied. This includes signed copies of most recent 1040s and W2s, SSA 1099, etc…

*If a student is having difficulty locating their most recent tax return or W2s, they may call

1-800-TAX-1040, in order to receive a transcript of the required 1040s and W2s.

*If a student received income yet was not required to file a return by IRS standards, they must supply copies of all W2s, SSA 1099’s etc… as well as complete a Non-Filer Certification of Income Information in order for our offices to properly verify the file.
