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: 

  1. 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.
  2. Call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946.
  3. 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:

Rochester Institute of Technology
Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships
56 Lomb Memorial Drive
Rochester, NY 14623
Telephone: 585-475-2186
Fax: 585-475-7270

If 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.  The IRS will not forward your tax transcript if your Form 4506-T is missing your signature or if lines 5, 6 and 9 are blank or incomplete.
