Students applying for federal financial aid programs must complete a FAFSA. Visit studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.

We recommend using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) to complete the FAFSA. The DRT transfer process has been improved to include stronger security and privacy protections; therefore, tax information transferred will not display on the form or Student Aid Report. Instead, the phrase "Transferred from the IRS" will appear in the fields.

Those selected for federal verification after FAFSA completion or those unable to use the IRS DRT may need to request an IRS Tax Return Transcript.
