Students and contributors (typically parents) will need to provide approval for their Federal Tax Information (FTI) to be used on their FAFSA. By providing this approval, the need for additional documents may be reduced. Tax documents or other supporting documentation may be requested under the following circumstances:

• Student did not apply for aid in the previous academic year
• Student did not attend Carnegie Mellon in the previous academic year
• Student filed a FAFSA and/or CSS Profile using estimated information
• As required by federal regulation or by our professional review

Students may log in to their My Student Aid portal to view a list of requested financial aid documents.
