How can my parents file the FAFSA if they aren’t U.S. citizens and filed foreign taxes?

Contributors who are not U.S. citizens will soon be able to create an FSA ID, which they will use to provide consent and sign the FAFSA. If the individual does not have an SSN or ITIN, they will be directed through the knowledge-based identity authentication process. This will allow anyone, including undocumented individuals, to create an FSA ID. An FSA ID is required to file the FAFSA electronically. This authentication process is not yet available but should be toward the end of 2023.
Contributors who filed foreign taxes will manually report their converted tax information on the FAFSA, using the exchange rate as of the day the FAFSA is filed.
