Is it better to wait until the income tax forms have been completed before submitting the FAFSA?
No. Submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1. Do not wait until your taxes are done. Although it is better to do your taxes early, it is okay to use estimates of your income, so long as they aren’t far off from the actual values. Keep in mind that if you wait too long, you may miss state aid deadlines. Most states require the FAFSA to be submitted by March 1 and some even as early as early or mid-February.
