January 1st has come and gone, most students have heard or will be hearing back from schools on their acceptance status. Regardless, it is time for families to get their papers together to file for financial aid. Usually financing college is the biggest concern for most families, yet they wait to fill out the very paperwork that will not only determine if they can receive federal assistance, it is often used in the equations offered by individual schools when determining scholarships, grants, and loans.
Even if you don't plan to file your taxes any time soon, you can still complete the FAFSA with estimates on how you will file, and then revise the information later. You also do not have to wait until you have committed to a school, the form allows you the opportunity to send the information to a the schools you are or planning to apply.
