Question
How do I/my parent(s) request a Verification of Non-filing Letter (VONF) from the IRS?
Answer

To request a Verification of Non-filing Letter (VONF) from the IRS, please visit https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript and click on "Get Transcript Online" or "Get Transcript by Mail" to get started.

You may also complete the paper Form 4506-T, and mark box 7, then mail or fax the form to the IRS. Requests submitted via this form can take up to 30 days. Once received, upload a copy through StudentForms.

Please note: If an individual does not have a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), they will not be able to request a VONF. Instead, upload a signed statement explaining that the individual does not have a SSN or ITIN along with a list of each source of income received and the annual amount.
