What is the Financial Aid Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX)?

The IRS Data Direct Exchange (FA-DDX) tool allows you to consent for the exchange of federal tax information into your FAFSA. All students and contributors must provide consent and approval to obtain their federal tax information directly from the IRS and to use their federal tax information to determine the student’s eligibility and federal student aid. If the student or required contributor refuses consent to use the FA-DDX, the student will not be eligible for federal student aid.
