USING THE IRS DATA RETRIEVAL TOOL (DRT)
The IRS Data Retrieval Tool can be used when completing the FAFSA to directly pull parental tax information from the IRS into the FAFSA. This will
expedite the application process. In most cases, no further documentation is needed by our office to verify income if the transfer of data using the IRS DRT
is successful. Below are steps on how to utilize IRS DRT.
1. Log in to your current FAFSA or start a new FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov using your FSA ID.
2. Skip to the “Financial Information” section and, if applicable, update the following:
a. Whether or not you have filed an IRS income tax return and,
b. Your tax filing status.
3. After updating the above information, you will be asked additional questions to screen your DRT eligibility.
4. You will see the “Link to IRS” button if you are eligible to use the IRS DRT, if so, click on the button and log in with the IRS to retrieve your tax
return information.
5. Review your tax return information, and see the tax data that will be transferred into your FAFSA.
6. Check the “Transfer My Tax Information into the FAFSA” box, and click the “Transfer Now” button.
7. Review your federal tax return information that has been transferred into the data fields on your FAFSA and submit your correction.
If you successfully transferred your tax information and submitted your correction, you will no longer have to submit tax return transcripts. Please allow two
business weeks for our office to download these corrections. Shortly after we will remove the Student Tax Filing Statement and/or Parent Tax Filing
Statement from your To-Do List.
Please note: Not everyone can use the IRS DRT function. Please visit https://fafsa.ed.gov/help/irshlp10.htm to determine if you can use DRT. If you cannot
use the IRS DRT you may have to request tax return transcripts. Please visit www.irs.gov/transcript to view transcript ordering options or call 1-800-908-
9946 to request return transcripts via phone.
HOW TO REQUEST AN IRS TAX TRANSCRIPT (INCLUDING VERIFICATION OF NON-FILING)
The IRS has now made downloading an electronic copy of your tax transcript an option for those individuals with a valid Social Security Number (SSN). You
can begin this process by navigating to http://www.irs.gov/transcript . The website will require authentication of the primary tax filer’s identity. You will be
asked to provide the following information that should correspond with what the IRS has on file for the primary tax filer: SSN, date of birth, street address,
and zip code. Once the authentication is complete, take the following steps:
Choose the “Get Transcript ONLINE” option. You must sign in or sign up to create an account.
Select the reason you are requesting a transcript as “Higher Education/Student Aid”.
In the “Return Transcript” Box, choose the transcript for the appropriate tax year. Your IRS Tax Return Transcript should then open
on-screen as a pdf document.
Print the transcript and write the student’s name and Cal State Fullerton CWID at the top of page, attach all printed pages of the Tax
return Transcript to the Tax Filing Statement form, and return them to the Office of Financial Aid (GH 146).
If you are requesting “Verification of Non-filing Letter”, choose that option and appropriate tax year.
If you are a taxpayer but unable to access your Tax Return Transcript online, you will have to order a paper tax transcript to be sent to you via regular
post. You can do so by:
