  • Bring your 2022 federal income tax return 1040 and W-2 forms. 
  • Know your social security number for students and parents (if applicable). 

FSA ID Personal Tracker - Use the FSA ID Personal Tracker to write down and secure your FSA ID. You and/or your Parent will need to keep this information to access Dept. Of Education websites or to sign electronically. This tool is not required and for personal and confidential use only. 


If you are required to have parents information on the FAFSA the following parent(s) will also need to create an FSA ID 4 days prior to completing the FAFSA for you to invite to complete the parent section.

  • Parents divorced - the parent that provides the greater financial support is the parent contributor and must have a FSA ID.  If that parent is remarried follow bullets below.
    • Parents married and file their taxes jointly - one parent needs an FSA ID and will be ask to sign.
    • Parents married filing separately - both parents need to have an FSA ID and both have to sign.
    • Parents live together but not married - both parents need to have an FSA ID and both have to sign.

  • Students planning to attend in the Fall 2024 and/or Spring/Summer 2025 terms can file the 2024-2025 FAFSA using the 2022 Federal Income Tax Returns and W-2.
