Title:  A First Look at 2026-2027 Income Verification and the 2024 Tax Return

Date/Time:  Tuesday, October 7, 2025, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm EST

Description:  With a new aid year comes a new base year – with the 2026-2027 FAFSA launching for everyone on October 1^st, let’s take a look at the 2024 tax return and income verification for 2026-2027. In this webinar, we will review V1 verification – what data need to be verified, what documents do we need to collect, and what, if anything has changed from 2025-2026.  We will go line by line through the 2024 (base year) tax return to find all the FAFSA tax items. And we will also look forward to 2027-2028 (yes – it’s time to start talking about 2027-2028 already) to see how the July 4, 2025 Reconciliation Act will change asset reporting, Maximum Pell Grant eligibility, and Minimum Pell eligibility, and impact income adjustment professional judgments that may use 2025 income tax returns as documentation of income changes.
