The FAFSA® becomes available every October 1. For the 2024—2025 award year, the FAFSA® opened on December 31, 2023, and is now available for you to complete. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid every year by the priority deadline of March 1. If the priority deadline is not met, students may still apply until June 30 of that academic year. Funding may be exhausted for certain aid programs as it is awarded on a first come, first served basis. For specific deadlines for Federal and State Aid visit studentaid.gov.
Students should complete the 2023—2024 FAFSA® using the 2021 Income Tax Information and the 2024—2025 FAFSA® using the 2022 Income Tax Information.
For 2023—2024:
2021 Income and Tax Information
You and your parent(s) (or spouse) can access 2021 IRS tax return information to complete your 2023—2024 FAFSA®.
You may use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to directly transfer 2021 IRS tax return information directly into the FAFSA® to increase accuracy of information. If not available, please continue as follows.
You may also need records of your parents' income (if you are a dependent student). Please use the following as a guide to help gather your documents:
• Your 2021 federal income tax return (and your spouse's, if married)
Parents' 2021 federal income tax return (if you are a dependent student)
W-2 forms or other records of income earned
• Records of other untaxed income received, such as welfare benefits, Social Security, military or clergy allowances
Business or farm records, if applicable
• Current bank statements and records of stocks, bonds and other investments
For 2024—2025:
2022 Income and Tax Information
The FUTURE Act - Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX) will replace the IRS Data Retrieval tool and will be required to automatically transfer data from your completed 2022 tax form, after providing consent, directly into the FAFSA® via the IRS to help ensure accuracy.
Based on your answers to the marital or dependency questions on the FAFSA®, your spouse, parents or stepparents (contributors) may also need to provide tax information.
If you are unable to use the FUTURE Act Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX), you will need 2022 federal tax information to complete your 2024—2025 FAFSA®. You may also need records of your parent/parent’s income (if you are a dependent student). Please use the following as a guide to gather your documents:
• Your (and your spouse’s, if married) 2022 federal income tax return.
• Parent’s/stepparent’s 2022 federal income tax return (if you are a dependent student).
• W-2 forms or other records of income earned.
• Current bank statements and records of stocks, bonds, and other investments.
• Business or farm records, if applicable.
