For the FAFSA 2022-23 award year your 2020 income tax forms will be used. If your or your family’s financial situation has changed significantly from what is reflected on your 2020 federal income tax return (for example, if you’ve lost a job or otherwise experienced a drop in income), you may be eligible to have your financial aid adjusted. Complete the FAFSA questions as instructed on the application using your 2020 taxes information (including the transfer of tax return and income information), submit your FAFSA form, then contact the school you plan to attend to discuss how your current financial situation has changed. Note that the school's decision is final and cannot be appealed to the U.S. Department of Education.

Be sure to select your parent correct tax filing status. See screens here: Tax Screen 1 Tax Screen 2
 

IRS DRT


The IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) allows students and parents who filed a U.S. tax return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to access the IRS return information needed to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form by transferring the data directly into their forms.

Here’s how the IRS DRT process works, assuming your tax information is available:

The IRS DRT will take you to the IRS website, you’ll need to provide your name and other information exactly as it is shown on your tax return. At the IRS site, you’ll see a page that shows your tax information is available. You can choose to import your information into the FAFSA form. If you choose to import your information into the FAFSA form, you’ll find that on the FAFSA site, instead of your tax information being displayed, you’ll see “Transferred from the IRS" in the appropriate fields. You won’t be able to make changes to those answers.
