Section 483(f) ( 20 U.S.C. 1090(f) ) is amended to read as follows: The Secretary shall— make every effort to allow applicants to utilize the current data retrieval tool to transfer data available from the Internal Revenue Service to reduce the amount of original data entry by applicants and strengthen the reliability of data used to calculate expected family contributions, including through the use of technology to— allow an applicant to automatically populate the electronic version of the forms under this paragraph with data available from the Internal Revenue Service; and direct an applicant to appropriate questions on such forms based on the applicant’s answers to previous questions; and allow taxpayers, regardless of filing status, to utilize the current data retrieval tool to its full capacity.
The Secretary shall continue to examine whether data provided by the Internal Revenue Service can be used to generate an expected family contribution without additional action on the part of the student and taxpayer. Not less than once every other year, the Secretary shall report to the authorizing committees and the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate on the progress of the simplification efforts under this subsection. .
