OUTAGE ALERT – IRS DRT Outages April and May 2023

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) will be unavailable on the following dates and times during the months of April and May 2023:

  • Sunday, April 30; 1:30–3 p.m. Eastern time (ET)

  • Sunday, May 7; 1:30–3 p.m. ET

During these outage periods, users may access the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form and the Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) Plan Request. However, if an action requires entry of federal tax information, the tax information will need to be provided manually (or, in the case of the IDR Plan Request, alternative documentation of income may need to be provided). Applicants may wish to complete these applications after the outages are over.

Federal Student Aid appreciates your patience as the IRS completes this planned maintenance.
