For each year of college, students and parents who are requesting financial aid need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
In IRS Tax Tip 2019–82, the agency reminds parents and students that the IRS Data Retrieval Tool is available to use with the 2019‒2020 FAFSA and is the fastest, most accurate way to input tax return information into the online FAFSA form.
Eligible students and parents will find the IRS Data Retrieval Tool within the online FAFSA form.
