2024-2025 Parent marital status verification

If this item is listed under your Financing Tasks in My ASU, your financial aid disbursement will be placed on hold until you provide the information.

Why this is needed

The parent marital status reported on your FAFSA conflicts with the information reported on your family size form, your parent tax return or other documents submitted in support of your financial aid application. Therefore, clarification of your FAFSA parent's current marital status is required.

This eForm must be completed by the parent listed on the FAFSA. You will need to provide the parent guest access on My ASU in order for them to electronically complete and sign parent forms. To grant your parent guest access, visit My ASU - Add a Guest. Under Finances, check the box next to View my tasks. Once you provide guest access, your parent will need to complete the Parent Signature Verification task in order to sign and complete forms electronically.

Need to request tax documents from the IRS? Here's how:

  1. Have your parent(s) request a replacement copy from the employer who issued the original.
  2. Your parent(s) can instantly retrieve a Wage and Income Transcript online at the IRS Get Transcript website. The online tool requires the user to register before submitting a request. The user can only use this option if they have the following:
    • Access to a valid email address.
    • A Social Security number.
    • Their filing status and address from the last-filed tax return.
    • A text-enabled mobile phone in the user's name (pay-as-you-go plans cannot be used).
    • Their personal account number from one of the following: credit card, home mortgage loan, home equity line of credit or car loan.

    During the registration process, the IRS will send the user a confirmation code via email and an authentication code via text. The IRS email and text will contain a one-time code that the user will use to finalize their registration. After a login has been created, continue by entering your (the parent's) IRS username.
