Beginning with the 2024-25 FAFSA, all FAFSA contributors (student, parents) must provide approval to the Department of Education to have a direct data exchange with the IRS regardless of whether the contributor has filed a tax return* in order for the FAFSA to be valid. The direct data exchange will include information from both tax filers and non-tax filers. All FAFSA contributors must have a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID and password. You may reuse your previously created FSA ID and password. Parents without a social security number will be able to obtain an FSA ID for the 2024-2025 cycle.

*There will be some instances whereby manual entry of tax information will be required such as when a tax return is filed with another country.
