Student Spouse I was able to successfully use the IRS Data Retrieval without making changes to transfer 2013 IRS income tax return information into the FAFSA. (You will not need to submit a copy of your tax transcript unless it is requested on “My Documents” in COTCconnect.) I was unable to use the IRS Data Retrieval in the FAFSA and will provide a copy of my 2013 IRS Tax Return Transcript(s). *You may print your tax transcript at http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript or you may request a transcript at www.irs.gov or 1.800.908.9946. If you filed an amended IRS Federal Tax Return, you must submit a Return Transcript of the original return and a signed copy of the 1040X.
