Based on inquiries by phone and email, below are the top five topics of the week. 

• I was selected for verification due to conflicts with my IRS data retrieval and what I indicated manually on the FAFSA. What do I submit? 

• Please review your requirements carefully:

  - If our office requests a Federal Tax Return Transcript, a signed Federal 1040 Form will not be sufficient to verify the conflicting information.

  - If our office requests a signed Federal 1040 Form, a Federal Tax Return Transcript will not be sufficient to verify the conflicting information. 
  
  If you did not file taxes but manually indicated on the FAFSA that you filed taxes, please obtain an Official Nonfiling Letter, which you can get from the IRS. 

• I completed all loan requirements and it has been more than seven days. What do I need to do to satisfy the requirements?  

• Our office will begin loan origination for the fall 2025 quarter (2025–26 academic year) starting in mid-August. This means any loan requirements that have been completed will begin updating in MyAwards from “incomplete” to “complete.”
  
  Please allow up to 7 business days for processing after completing the online requirements, starting in mid-August. 

• How do I complete the Identity Verification on StudentForms if I am unable to come in person? 

• If you are unable to appear in person to present your valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID, please review the drop-down menu and choose the appropriate option. This will prompt you to download the form. (PDF instructions)

  

  If you are unable to appear in person at the University of California, Davis, you must appear in person in front of a notary and provide to the institution:
  
  a. Identity Verification Notary Certification - must be completed in person with a notary, and
  
  b. A copy of the valid, unexpired, government-issued photo identification (ID) that is acknowledged in the notary certification below, or that is presented in person to a notary, such as, but not limited to, a driver's license, other state-issued ID, or passport (Military IDs are not acceptable due to limitations on making copies).
  
  If the notary certification uses a separate form, it must include a description of the valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID presented in person to the notary.
  
  Once completed by the notary, please have them forward the completed documents by mail to our financial aid office.
