**Correction**
In the *Federal Register* of July 22, 2025, in FR Doc. 2025-13740, on page 34487, in the third paragraph, correct the paragraph to read:
In accordance with the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education (FUTURE) Act, much of the applicant's tax return information, including information from their spouse and/or parents, will come directly from the IRS and will not be viewable by the student and other contributors. Such information that is transferred and not edited will be verified and need no further verification. However, for instances where income and tax information cannot be obtained directly from the IRS, the applicant will have to manually enter the necessary information into the FAFSA form, and that manual entry may be subject to verification.
