Tips on the IRS Data Retrieval Tool and

Requesting the IRS Tax Return Transcript

Once you have filed 2012 Federal income taxes, you may use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to update your FAFSA. This can be completed for both student and parent if both have filed Federal income taxes.

Log in at www.FAFSA.gov click the link to "Make Corrections" and navigate to the financial information.
To be eligible to transfer the data, "None of the Above" must be checked, review the options to make sure it is the correct selection for you. Enter your Federal aid PIN and click "LINK TO IRS".
Enter your filing status and your address EXACTLY as it appears on your income tax return (for example: N., N, or North). Click "Submit".
Click in the box below "Transfer My Tax Information to the FAFSA" and click "Transfer Now".
Review transferred information and complete your FAFSA by signing it with your Federal aid PIN(s).

If you are not able to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, you may choose one of three options to request copy of your IRS Tax Return Transcript. Be sure to make a copy of your transcripts before sending them to the Financial Aid Office.

A printable form explaining this process for income tax filers is available here.
