Important Reminders:
- Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) to transfer tax data directly from the IRS to your FAFSA for everyone listed on the FAFSA.
- Using the DRT when completing the FAFSA saves you time, is secure (your data is encrypted), and is the most accurate.
- Using the DRT reduces the chances of being asked to provide additional IRS documents to the Financial Aid office.
