<p>First time poster… long time reader. :)</p>
<p>Came across great step by step instructions for the IRS data retrieval process. Just wanted to share.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting!</p>
<p>I will add, if you have a Refund coming, use this link:</p>

<p>When your return is shown as ‘processed’, go back through FAFSA and the DRT should work. This is a lot quicker than going directly through FAFSA each time to check to see if your return is ready for the DRT to work.</p>
