The FSA ID is the Federal Student 援助 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 FSA ID. 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 联邦学生资助 in the future.

Other contributors will use their FSA ID to sign the FAFSA and  provide consent to the Future Act – Direct Data Exchange. 父母 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. 研究生 students could also use their FSA ID to request a Federal 研究生 PLUS Loan.

For the 2023-2024 FAFSA only, the IRS Data Retrieval Tool is an option within the 在线FAFSA. This tool allows the student and/or parent to use their FSA ID to link to the IRS and import their federal tax in为mation from the IRS onto the FAFSA 为 适当的年份.

Starting with the 2024-2025 FAFSA, using the IRS Future Act - Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX) will enable contributors’ federal tax in为mation (FTI) to be securely retrieved directly from the IRS to  the FAFSA application. This simplifies the process of filling federal tax in为mation on the FAFSA. 如果你是 selected 为 verification, this will reduce processing time and minimize the required paperwork. 未来 Act mandates providing consent 为 the Direct Data Exchange of FTI, a prerequisite 为 receiving 联邦学生资助.
