Filling out a FAFSA? The Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) is currently down!


Published on 3/16/2017.

The IRS Data Retrieval Tool on fafsa.gov and StudentLoans.gov is currently unavailable.

The Department of Education is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. However, at this time, the IRS anticipates the online data tool will be unavailable for several weeks.

This does not limit families’ ability to apply for aid. Applicants have other options while the data tool is unavailable. Applicants filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can manually provide the requested financial information from copies of their tax returns. The online FAFSA and IDR application remain operational, and applicants can continue filing the FAFSA or applying for an IDR plan as they normally would.
