Clarity’s New Enhanced Tax Verification Home

{SCHOOL NAME} is proud to use Clarity Financial Aid to help us determine a family’s financial need, using a snapshot that families provide in the application, which includes information on assets, income, expenses, and debt. Clarity uses best-in-class security to safeguard the information you share with us while making the application process intuitive and efficient for families.

If you have used Clarity in the past, you will recognize that this year, most of the Clarity application process remains the same. US taxpayers will now be prompted to authorize the release of their taxes from the IRS to Clarity through their own IRS.gov account, which will allow us to view your complete application sooner, while providing even more security for your personal data.

Clarity recommends that families who pay US taxes create their own IRS.gov account before starting their Clarity Financial Aid application to facilitate the process. You can view a step-by-step guide to that process here. This process takes just a few minutes for most users. Once you’ve done this, please create or log back into Clarity to get started. If you already have an IRS account, no need to do this in advance, just log into your Clarity account and get started!

If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at [email protected] or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
