I’m doing my 2016-2017 FAFSA and trying to use the IRS data retrieval tool so I could transfer my tax return from the IRS website and directly onto the FAFSA website; however, it keeps coming out as “the address that you typed doesn’t match the one on your tax return” despite going back three times and retyping it letter by letter to check but it’s no use. Is anyone experiencing this problem? Also, who should I contact regarding this issue?
Does the city name have more than one word? Try leaving a space between the two words.
The street name and number and zip code is correct?
Did you look how it is spelled on the tax return?
It has to match whatever the IRS has on file. You might type West, but the IRS has W … that sort of thing. Or you might be using your zip code, but the IRS has zip+4 on file. There really isn’t anyone to call, unfortunately.
