Do income tax returns need to be completed before completed the FAFSA?
• It is a good idea to have completed the federal tax return before completing the FAFSA since exact tax information can make processing faster and simpler. If this cannot be done in time for you to meet the priority filing date at the school(s) in which you are interested, use estimated figures when completing the application. If at a later date the estimated figures differ from the actual figures, make corrections on your Student Aid Report (SAR) or contact your school’s financial aid office to find out how you should correct the information.
