How to Complete an IRS Form 4506-T for Verification of Non-filing

Individuals who are not required to ﬁle taxes but are selected for veriﬁcation by the Department of Education must provide Veriﬁcation of Non-ﬁling. Individuals can obtain the Veriﬁcation of Non-ﬁling by submitting an IRS Form 4506‐T (PDF) to the IRS.

1a—Name of Non‐Filer

Leave line 5 blank. NIU does not use the 3rd party option.
7—Veriﬁcation of Non-ﬁling—check the box at the end of the line
9—List the last calendar day of the tax year you are requesting the Veriﬁcation of Non-ﬁling
(i.e. if requesting 2024 information please list 12/31/2024)
Read the declaration indicating you are the person listed in line 1a and check the box above the signature line
