IRS Data Retrieval Tool

The U.S. Department of Education and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have collaborated to develop a tool that simplifies the completion of the FAFSA application.  The IRS Data Retrieval tool allows FAFSA applicants and parents to request and retrieve their tax data directly from the IRS.  Once this data is retrieved from the IRS, it can be transferred to the FAFSA application.

*Please note that you are required to complete the IRS Data Retrieval, unless you are not eligible to.  For information about your eligibility to use the IRS Data Retrieval, please contact our office.
