When it comes to verifying student finances, you need to cross your t’s and dot your i’s; but going direct to the IRS has many downsides:

It’s slow: 
Verification can take up to four weeks, you’ll likely spend hours on hold with the IRS, and customer service is not part of the equation.

It’s inconvenient:
You cannot track your order status, rejections come without explanation, and there is no digital option – only snail mail. Also, because students may have trouble completing form 4506-T, you could wind up fielding multiple calls at the financial aid office.

It’s risky:
A student may be ineligible or never submit a transcript to school and abort enrollment. Worse, the applicant can falsify tax transcript records.
