Internal Revenue Service (tax transcripts for the verification process)
Beginning the 2012-2013 Verification Process, tax transcripts must be submitted in lieu of signed tax returns. There are three ways in which you and your parents (if applicable) can request your tax transcript free of charge:
- Order a tax transcript online (the transcript can only be mailed to the address listed on the federal tax return). Upon receipt please mail or fax a copy of your transcript(s) to the address listed below.
- Call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946.
- Complete and return Form 4506-T. Mail or fax your form to the IRS’s state specific address or fax number.
Options 2 and 3 allow you to designate a third-party mailing address. If you would like your tax transcript sent directly to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships you will need to provide the IRS with the following mailing address and telephone number:

Fax: 585-475-7270If the transcript is being mailed directly to the school, ensure that you have filled in line 6 and line 9 before signing. Sign and date the form once you have filled in lines 5, 6 and 9.
