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.

To complete the 4506‐T, please complete the following lines:

  • 1a—Name of Non‐Filer
  • 1b—Social Security Number of Non‐filer
  • 3—Current address
  • 4—Previous address if you have moved in the last 2 years
  • 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
