Can a Student Or Parent Revoke Consent To Use Federal Tax Information During the Award Year?
Award Year: 2024-25 KA-36534 Helpfulness Rating 440 page viewsThis guidance is specific to the 2024-25 award year and later.
No. Once a FAFSA contributor (student or parent) has provided approval and consent for use and disclosure of federal tax information (FTI) for a FAFSA cycle (e.g., the 2024-25 FAFSA cycle), they cannot revoke consent for that cycle. The ability to revoke consent is not needed for FAFSA purposes because the FAFSA contributor is providing a one-time consent for a specific tax year and an annual consent is required for each FAFSA cycle.
See the May 11, 2023 Electronic Announcement (GENERAL-23-34) for more details.
