It is important that applicants apply for the FAFSA as soon as it becomes available in October. Some financial aid is awarded based on the initial FAFSA filing date. Using prior-prior year tax information will make the FAFSA process easier for families and students.
To make the FAFSA even easier, use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) that is available through the online FAFSA.
NOTE: The DRT tool is temporarily unavailable so please use copies of your 2015 tax return to complete the FAFSA.
