What is an IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter?

An IRS Verification of Non-Filing letter provides proof that the IRS has no record of a filed Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ for the year requested.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, non-tax filers selected for verification are required to submit a 2022 IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter to their school’s financial aid office.

Non Tax filers can request an IRS Verification of Non-Filing of their 2022 tax return status, free of charge, from the IRS by completing IRS Form 4506-T (PDF). Mail or fax the completed IRS Form 4506-T to the address (or fax number) provided on page 2 of Form 4506-T. Please do not mail, email, and/or fax IRS Form 4506-T to our office.

An IRS Verification of Non-filing Letter can also be obtained via the IRS Get Transcript Online tool.

How to Request IRS Verification of Non-filing Letter:

• Complete lines 1-4, following instructions on page 2 of the form.
• Line 3: Enter the non-filer’s street address and zip code or postal code. Use the address currently on file with the IRS.
• Line 5: Provides non-filers with the option to have their IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter mailed directly to a third party by the IRS. Do not have your IRS Verification of Non-Filing letter sent directly to ECU.
• Line 7: Select the checkbox on the right-hand side for Verification of Non-Filing.
• Line 9: Year or period requested field, enter “12/31/2022”.
• The non-filer must sign and date the form and enter their telephone number. Only one signature is required when requesting a joint IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter.
• Mail or fax the completed IRS Form 4506-T to the address (or fax number) provided on page 2 of Form 4506-T. Please do not mail, email and/or fax IRS Form 4506-T to our office.
• If the 4506-T information is successfully validated, tax filers can expect to receive a paper IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter at the address provided on their request within 5 to 10 days.
• Submit the IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter to ECU. Make sure to include the student’s name and Banner ID on the IRS Verification of Non-Filing letter.
