TAX FILING RESOLUTION FORM – STUDENT HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD
Student’s Name:
Phone:
Reason for this form: The U.S. Department of Education requires financial aid administrators to review and resolve
discrepancies in your tax filing status. Your FAFSA or other documentation indicates that you are married, but according
to your income tax information, you are filing “Head of Household.” IRS Publication 17 states that a married person can
only file taxes as “Married Filing Jointly” or “Married Filing Separately.” However, a person can file “Head of Household”
if they are considered by the IRS to be unmarried and meet certain other criteria. For more information refer to IRS
Publication 17-2015 Tax Guide for Individuals ( ) or consult a tax professional.
Student’s Certification Statement

false or misleading information I may be fined, sentenced to jail, or both.
