<p>I have tried using the data retrieval tool by entering my parents' information on the IRS pop-up from the FAFSA website, but it says nothing is on file.</p>
<p>My parents are positive that they did their tax returns already and they have the copies of the tax returns as evidence.</p>
<p>I would like to know why the IRS Data Retrieval Tool is not working for me. Last year, it worked perfectly.</p>
<p>I checked the status of my parents' tax returns on the IRS website itself and it says, "We have received your tax return and it is being processed."</p>
<p>Do I have to wait until it is finished processing in order to use the data retrieval tool?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
