The Obama Administration is proposing a change to the FAFSA process (for federal financial aid for college students). Instead of having to pull your tax records out of a file [or calling your tax preparer to get a copy :) ], you may have the option of importing your needed tax info from the IRS database. It seems like this would improve accuracy and cut down on confusion as well. It may raise some privacy concerns, so we will see where this goes.
