For FAFSA, Unusable IRS Data Retrieval Tool Presents Problems
For students applying to college, applying for financial aid can also be a complicated process. For some students in March, the process may have just become even more complicated.
For the FAFSA, students used to have the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to help them easily fetch tax info to fill in required fields in the application.
However, the IRS and Office of Federal Student Aid recently announced that the Data Retrieval Tool had been suspended; students would need to wait for several weeks before it would be available again.
Students should stay aware of any financial aid deadlines or changes and keep an eye on the steps they can take to complete financial aid applications.
