Tips To Complete Your Application:

Before you complete your FAFSA application, you need to have filed your tax return. You will need to wait up to two weeks for the IRS income information to be available for electronic IRS tax return filers, and up to eight weeks for paper IRS tax return filers. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool on your application is the best and easiest way to provide accurate tax information. Use it to transfer your IRS income information into your spouses. If you are unable or choose not to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in FAFSA and your application is selected for verification, you will need to submit an IRS tax return transcript to the school, not a photocopy, of the income tax return. To obtain an IRS tax return transcript, go to and click on the 鈥淕et Transcript Online鈥� link, or call 800-908-9946. You may also go to our local IRS office at 1211 Governor鈥檚 Square Blvd., Tallahassee, FL 32301. Make sure to request the 鈥淚RS tax return transcript鈥�, not the 鈥淚RS tax account transcript.鈥� You will need your social security number, date of birth, and the address on file with the IRS. If you are married and you and your spouse filed separate tax returns, you will not be able to use the Data Retrieval Tool. You must submit an IRS tax return transcript for both you and your spouse. If you get federal student aid based on incorrect information, you will have to pay it back. You may also have to pay fines and fees.
