To successfully use the FA-DDX, you must have both:

• A legal name match and
• Filed a 2023 Federal Tax Return

Step #2

Once you have reviewed Step #1, please navigate to the correct tab below:

• Tab 3, I or my parents are eligible to use the FA-DDX.
• Tab 4, My, or my parents', 2023 federal taxes were filed very recently.

If you are eligible to transfer the 2023 tax data from the IRS to the 2025-2026 FAFSA, follow these instructions:

• Go to log in with either the student or Parent FSA ID.
• Provide consent to transfer tax data directly to the FAFSA from the IRS by selecting Approve. If married, select if you filed a joint tax return in 2023 with your current spouse.
• Sign and submit your section of the FAFSA.
• If parents are married or not married and living together and they filed 2023 taxes separately both parents will need to be invited and log in and provide consent to transfer tax data.

When you attempt to use the Future Act - Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX) as the applicant and/or parent who recently filed 2023 federal taxes, FAFSA will inform you that the tax information (if electronically filed within the last 2 weeks or submitted by mail within the last 8 weeks) may not be available. See tab 11 for the FA-DDX Chart.

In certain cases, the Future Act - Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX) will not be able to pull in tax data. It will inform the applicant, based on his or her responses, that he or she is not eligible to transfer tax data from the IRS to the FAFSA.

If you are not eligible to use the FA-DDX due to your 2023 tax filing and/or marital status, and your 2025-2026 FAFSA is selected for Verification, you will be required to submit the following documentation to verify your reported FAFSA income data:

The Future Act - Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX) does not identify and exclude tax return IRA and/or Pension distributions that have been rolled over into another account. If you have an IRA and/or Pension Rollover on your 2023 Federal IRS Income Tax Return, review this chart to learn what happens and how to update the FAFSA information.

If you answer 鈥測es,鈥� you will be required to provide the amount of the rollover in a new entry field. The amount you report as the rollover amount will then be subtracted from the amount of the IRA or Pension distribution that was transferred from the IRS.

Step #1: Enter the rollover information exactly as it is shown on your IRS Form 1040	Step #2: Provide the following to 向日葵视频Central: A signed copy of your 2023 Federal Income Tax Return with the word 鈥榬ollover鈥� handwritten next to the applicable line item(s). *or* Signed and dated copy of your 2023 IRS Tax Transcript with the word 鈥榬ollover鈥� handwritten next to the applicable line item(s).
