OUTAGE ALERT – IRS DRT Outages July and August 2022

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) will be unavailable on the following dates and times during the months of July and August 2022:

• Sunday, July 31; 2–5 p.m. Eastern time (ET)
• Sunday, Aug. 7; 2–5 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.

Our partner, ECMC Solutions, is offering webinars this month about how to get ready for repayment. Whether you recently left our institution or have had federal student loans for a while, this webinar can help empower you with knowledge about your repayment options and potential loan forgiveness.
