Night Elf Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm trying to renew dd's FAFSA for the 2017-2018 year. It won't let me use my FAFSA ID to link to the IRS site. I had no problem doing it last year. Is it because the tax year 2015 is past? Now I've got to fill in all those numbers myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm not doing a renewal, but a new FAFSA. I didn't have any trouble retrieving numbers from IRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the FAFSA renewal and didn't have any trouble with the IRS retrieval. You don't want to enter the numbers yourself--you want them confirmed by the IRS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Hold on. I changed my password on my FAFSA ID account and it finally let me link to the IRS site. That doesn't make sense but it worked! Thanks! Edited October 10, 2016 by Night Elf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Can you try setting up a new ID? Or contacting them. (I would want to make sure that my ID hadn't been hacked)I was able to renew mine with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
