   4 Things to Know About the 2018–19 FAFSA® Form

1.       The 2018–19 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form will be available at fafsa.gov on Oct. 1, 2017. Tell students to fill out the form as soon as possible to maximize their financial aid.
2.       The 2018–19 FAFSA form will require 2016 tax and income information.
3.       The IRS DRT will be available for the 2018–19 FAFSA cycle. The IRS DRT will not return for the 2017–18 FAFSA cycle. Students and families who need to complete the 2017–18 FAFSA form should manually enter their tax return information into the form.
4.       Beginning with the 2018–19 FAFSA cycle, tax return information transferred from the IRS into fafsa.gov will have stronger security and privacy protections.
-          As a result, the tax information transferred from the IRS will not display on the DRT web page or in the FAFSA form.
-          Instead of the user's tax information being displayed, the phrase "Transferred from the IRS" will appear in the appropriate fields on fafsa.gov.
