Student And Spouse Will Not File And Are Not Required To File A Income Tax Return With The IRS (2019)

Use a Student And Spouse Will Not File And Are Not Required To File A Income Tax Return With The IRS 2019 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this IRS statement does

This 2019 statement records that a student and spouse will not file, and are not required to file, an income tax return with the IRS. It is generally used when an institution needs written confirmation for a student financial-aid or education record. The signer identifies the relevant tax-filing circumstance, completes the requested personal details, and signs the statement. It does not replace an IRS tax return, determine tax liability, or authorize a filing. Review the school or requesting agency’s instructions before submitting the completed form.

Who uses this IRS statement

Students and spouses

Students complete this statement when a school or financial-aid office requests confirmation that they and their spouse will not file, and are not required to file, a 2019 federal income tax return. The signed record helps staff distinguish a non-filing explanation from a missing return, while signNow keeps the completed document and audit history together.

Education offices

Financial-aid administrators collect the statement to support an institutional file, check that both filing circumstances are addressed, and route unresolved tax questions to the IRS or a qualified tax professional. A signNow workflow can send the form to the required signer, track completion, and preserve the final record.

Who benefits from this statement

The form is most useful when an institution needs a documented explanation for why the student and spouse do not have an IRS income tax return.

  • A dependent student uses the statement when completing institutional financial-aid documentation and neither the student nor spouse will file a federal income tax return for 2019.
  • A college financial-aid office uses the signed statement to document a student’s reported filing status when evaluating required aid records or resolving missing tax-return information.
  • A tax professional or education counselor uses the form to collect a student-and-spouse attestation, while directing tax-law questions to the IRS or a qualified adviser.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Best practices for this statement

Accuracy matters because this statement explains why a 2019 federal return is absent from an institutional file.

Confirm the requested tax year

Confirm the 2019 tax year and read the school’s instructions before entering information. Do not use this statement as a substitute for an IRS return or professional tax advice. Ask the requesting institution which supporting records must accompany the completed form.

Match institutional records carefully

Enter the student’s and spouse’s information exactly as it appears in institutional records. Check names, dates, addresses, and identifying details before signing so the financial-aid office can match the statement without requesting corrections.

Review before signing

Have every required signer review the non-filing representation before applying a signature. Electronic signing should show intent and consent, and consumer-facing workflows may require an ESIGN disclosure under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).

Archive the signed record

Download the completed statement and audit trail after signing. Store both with restricted access under the institution’s records policy, and retain tax-related records according to the applicable IRS requirements and document context.

Retention considerations for this statement

Retention depends on the related tax issue and the institution’s records schedule; these rules do not create a universal deadline for every copy.

01

Three years from filing

IRC §6501(a) generally gives the IRS three years from filing to assess tax; apply the rule to related tax records, not automatically to every institutional document.
02

Six years for major understatement

IRC §6501(a) extends the assessment period to six years when omitted gross income exceeds 25 percent; preserve related records when that condition applies.
03

Indefinite for fraud or no return

IRC §6501(a) permits an indefinite period for fraud or no return filed; obtain tax advice before deleting related evidence.
04

Institution policy controls supporting records

Institutional financial-aid records may follow a separate school, state, or program schedule; use the requesting institution’s written retention policy.
05

Retain the signed evidence

Electronic records should remain reproducible and linked to their audit trail while the institution’s applicable retention period remains open.

Challenges when completing the statement

  • Signers may confuse this statement with an IRS tax return, although it only records a reported non-filing circumstance.
  • The student or spouse may omit required identifying information, preventing the school from matching the statement to its financial-aid file.
  • A signer may select or describe a filing status without confirming whether the 2019 IRS requirement actually applies.
  • Submitting the statement without the requesting institution’s supporting documents can delay financial-aid review even when the signature is valid.

Troubleshooting this IRS statement

Resolve field, signer, retention, and plan questions before the statement enters the institution’s financial-aid file.

signNow’s Business plan costs $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and legally binding eSignatures. Upload the statement, place fields, and send it to the student and spouse. Confirm current plan terms before purchase.

Use signNow’s upload flow to add the 2019 statement, then inspect every detected field before sending. Auto-detection can reduce placement work, but the sender remains responsible for confirming names, tax-year language, signature fields, and required institutional information.

A completed signNow record can include signer actions, timestamps, IP information, and a certificate of completion. Preserve the final statement and audit trail together so the institution can reproduce the electronic record when its policy requires it.

Electronic signing does not decide whether the student or spouse was legally required to file. The signer should verify the 2019 tax position using IRS guidance or a qualified tax professional before making the representation.

For a consumer-facing workflow, ESIGN requires disclosure of the right to receive paper records, access to the electronic format, and procedures for withdrawing consent under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Configure and document those steps where applicable.

Business Premium is listed at $15 per user per month with annual billing and adds bulk send, kiosk mode, request payments, and quick invite links. A single statement may not require those additions; select a plan based on actual workflow volume.
