• Your Social Security number or Alien Registration number
• W-2s from the appropriate year, if you worked in that year
• Tax information for the appropriate year, if you filed taxes for that year
•  Consent to use the Future Act - Direct Data Exchange
• Your individual FSA ID
• A personal email address

The FSA ID is the Federal Student Aid username and password that FAFSA contributors will need in order to provide consent to the Future Act - Direct Data Exchange and electronically sign the FAFSA.

The FSA ID may be created or edited at FAFSA contributors must create their own individual FSA ID since this will be used as an electronic signature that should only be used by the respective individual.

Students will use their FSA ID to sign the FAFSA and use the Future Act - Direct Data Exchange as well as complete entrance counseling and sign the master promissory note if they wish to borrow any federal direct loans. Students will also use their FSA ID to manage  all aspects of federal student aid in the future.

Other contributors will use their FSA ID to sign the FAFSA and  provide consent to the Future Act 鈥� Direct Data Exchange. Parents can use  their FSA ID to request a Federal Parent PLUS Loan if they wish to borrow an additional federal loan to assist their student. Graduate students could also use their FSA ID to request a Federal Graduate PLUS Loan.

For the 2023-2024 FAFSA only, the IRS Data Retrieval Tool is an option within the online FAFSA. This tool allows the student and/or parent to use their FSA ID to link to the IRS and import their federal tax information from the IRS onto the FAFSA for the appropriate year.

Starting with the 2024-2025 FAFSA, using the IRS Future Act - Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX) will enable contributors鈥� federal tax information (FTI) to be securely retrieved directly from the IRS to  the FAFSA application. This simplifies the process of filling federal tax information on the FAFSA. If you are selected for verification, this will reduce processing time and minimize the required paperwork. The Future Act mandates providing consent for the Direct Data Exchange of FTI, a prerequisite for receiving federal student aid.
