Abstract:

The FUTURE Act allows Federal Student Aid (FSA) to receive customers' Federal Tax Information (FTI) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through the Internal Revenue Code § 6103 for purposes of administering the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) and income-driven repayment (IDR) plans. Since customers are required to provide consent for this process, we need to provide an option for them to revoke consent. This is a request for an extension of the currently approved information collection for the form that allows individuals to revoke previous consent for FTI for the purposes of administration of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, student financial aid activities.

Ross Santy,

Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development.
