Investing in your future and the worlds
The return on investment will be enormous. For you, for Dartmouth, and for the world you will transform.
The IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) electronically transfers your federal tax return information into your FAFSA form.
Additional security and privacy protections were added beginning with the 2018-2019 FAFSA to address concerns that data from the tool could be used by identity thieves to file fraudulent tax returns. The IRS DRT remains the fastest, most accurate way to input your tax return information into the FAFSA form.
Who is NOT eligible to use the IRS DRT?
Students or parents who are married and filed as Married Filing Separately, are married and filed as Head of Household, filed a Form 1040X amended tax return, or filed a Puerto Rican or foreign tax return are NOT eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool and will need to enter their tax return information manually.
