The 2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has been reformatted under the FAFSA Simplification Act to make it easier to submit information including using the Direct Data Exchange to pull in tax information. For the 2026-27 FAFSA, students (and parents, as appropriate) will report their tax year 2024 income information.

Student Information

If you are selected for Verification, Marquette University is required to confirm your tax information. Students must use the Direct Data Exchange (DDX) on the FAFSA by providing consent to automatically transfer tax information to the FAFSA and to the University. If you are not eligible to use the DDX, you must submit a signed copy of your 2024 Federal IRS Tax Return Transcript (TRT) or signed copy of taxes filed in Puerto Rico, the Freely Associated States, or a foreign country.

Parent Information

If you are selected for Verification, Marquette University is also required to confirm your parent(s) tax information. Parent(s) will provide consent to automatically transfer tax information from the IRS to the FAFSA. If your parent(s) are not eligible to use the DDX, they must submit a signed copy of their 2024 Federal IRS Tax Return Transcript (TRT) or signed copy of taxes filed in Puerto Rico, the Freely Associated States, or a foreign country.

NOTE: If your parent(s) did not file a 2024 federal tax return and you receive notice you have been selected for verification, you must obtain documentation from the IRS that your parent(s) did not file - Parent Non-filing of U.S. or PR Tax Form
