Completing the FAFSA

FAFSA Resources

The Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID)

The FSA ID is used to login at studentaid.gov where a student can complete their FAFSA, as well as review or complete other financial aid related documents. Student FAFSA filers, as well as one parent of undergraduate students who must report parental data on their FAFSA, need their own unique FSA ID.

  • Carefully follow the instructions when creating or editing your FSA ID.
  • Each FSA ID must be unique; thus, a different email address must be used when each family member creates their own FSA ID.
  • URGENT 1: This is not a place where you want to have a typing error, especially when entering your Name (as it appears on your Social Security Card), Date of Birth and Social Security Number!
  • URGENT 2: No one should ever create an FSA ID for another person (this is clearly stated in the FSA ID instructions)!
  • Additional FSA ID information

      Instructions for using the Online FAFSA IRS Data Retrieval Tool

      Students and parents completing the FAFSA are encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) when completing the FAFSA.

      Note: This tool is built into the Online FAFSA.

      Tax Documents from Cedarville University

      The accounting and finance office provides the following Tax Year Documents to students if they meet the criteria to receive the document:

      These documents contain important information which may be needed to complete the FAFSA and/or an IRS tax return. Additionally, parents of students may also need information from these forms when preparing their own IRS tax return.

      Note: Each Tax Document Section ends with information on which office to contact regarding that particular document.
