but to be able to file a fafsa form you need to have file adtax return.ollege students. >> that's not important now. >> very good. meanwhile, evan has a question for you on facebook. how do i get copies of my taxes if i did them online? >> you can go to the irs website. irs.gov. you can get a form there to request a transcript of what you filed. >> is the message there you should make a copy on your end before you send them? >> absolutely you should. >> i love going to the irs and downloading a form. it goes well. >> sure it does. >> thank you very much for being with us. how many people's questions have you answered today? >> probablyly a little over 100. it kept me busy this morning. >> cannot wait to get that bill. it will be huge. >> he's back again this year. thank you. >>> speaking of taxes let's talk about a large sum of money. that is where we start with a fox news alert. >> anyone who has been to new york city and walked through times square has noticed there is a massive recruiting station for the military. a few years back there was bombing. th

>> so let me back up quickly on the fafsa. we reduced about a third of the questions earlien in the administration. clearly we have more work to do. we average completion times down to half an hour. >> yeah completion time versus gathering the forms required to do the completion is a different thing. there's quite a bit they have to gather to pull that together. so that's a different issue. >> no, we have some work to do. but to your point to state the obvious, completing that form unlocks $150 billion in grants and loans each year. if you don't fill that form out you're locked out. ill still a barrier and impediment. so we have to do that. just to repeat, we're still developing this. >> is that something in the budget currently? that there's a section there? can you tell us? this is not a high-cost item. this is us thinking it through. i'm mush less worried than you are. i think you can talk through the concerns or whatever. this would be a modest effort to try to get more information, more transparency. is there a spot you'r

i appreciate the comment about fafsa. for a new junior or senior in high school who gets the form, first question is why they ask obvious questions, what does it matter why is the federal government collected this amount of information? any work that can be done to simplify the form is extremely important for multiple reasons. if we discourage people from engaging in the process of the short length of the form we will make a great disservice. i would encourage that. i want to spend a little more time on what senator bob was talking about. i want to dig into that a little bit as well. in your budget is very detail of the cause to develop implement and sustain college rating programs including some sort of estimate from the legal costs obviously challenge tremendously. is there an estimate in your budget somewhere that i'm missing of the cost of developing the ratings program? >> from a back up quickly. we reduced about a third of the question early on the administration. we feel really proud about that. we have average com

another one is that when the fafsa, the application for federal grant or loan which is 108 questions is applied, there's a verification process. very time consuming. senator bennett and i recommended cutting these 108-page questions to two. president obama and his budget has endorsed this idea and said he found 30 or 40 questions you and i working together might find some more. and if we simplify this form, and we move, which would require legislation, the data to the junior year in high school instead of the senior year these are all very common sense nonid ideological issues. would you be willing to sit down with senator ker and listen to them and their recommendations about what you and the department could do to implement the dozen of the 59 that the department by itself can do and would you be willing to work with senator and me and bennett and burr and senator murry to try to implement this simplification of what the report called the jungle of red tape. whatever we can do here to remove red tape, to stop wasting time, to stop waisting dollars, we should do that. there a couple
