<p>New at this and originally posted this on the wrong thread, any advice or help will be greatly appreciated. E-filed on 2/6 without tax payment. Sent payment check on 2/26 which was cashed on 3/4. Called IRS yesterday and spoke to several people who told me tax return will be processed after 4/15 and possibly not until May. This means I will not be able to use the DRT until May or June. Extremely concerned at this point, does anyone else have a similar problem?</p>
<p>Have you try DRT yet?
Ask for help at your school</p>
<p>Please see this thread on turnaround times for being able to use the data retrieval tool:</p>

<p>Most reports suggest that it should be available within a week or so after your payment is processed. The “not available until May” info applies to people who have not yet made payment, or have made only a partial payment - those are the returns for which processing is delayed. If you’ve made payment in full, there’s no reason why the DRT shouldn’t be available sometime soon. Just keep checking to see if it’s available . . .</p>
<p>dodgersmom, that was the wrong thread I posted it on originally.</p>
<p>I scheduled my tax payment to be withdrawn on 4/15 then cancelled and paid by check when I learned that I need to pay taxes before I could use the tool. I checked again today and couldn’t use the tool. My S financial aid priority dealine was 3/15 so I am starting to get worried.</p>
