Clarity's Enhanced Tax Verification Process Home
(Salutation),
In an effort to get your verified tax information to schools sooner and give you options as to how you’d like to share your tax information with us, Clarity has introduced an Enhanced Tax Verification process this year.
If you have used Clarity in the past, you will recognize that most of the Clarity application process remains the same. What has changed is that US taxpayers will now have the choice of verifying your identity and authorizing the sharing of your tax transcripts either through Clarity or via the IRS.gov website. The identity verification is a one-time security measure required to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. If you choose the Clarity pathway, your school(s) will receive your verified tax information in 3-5 days. If you choose the IRS.gov pathway, your school(s) will receive your verified tax information within one hour. Both pathways allow for you to authorize three years of taxes to share with us and any other school(s) to which you are applying.
We know that you may have questions about this change and how it will impact your family. We invite you to one of Clarity’s family webinars this fall, where we’ll outline the new process and allow for time to answer your questions. You can register through the links below. You can always reach out to us as well.
Sincerely,
(SCHOOL FA CONTACT)
