Do the schools determine the amount of aid received by the "will file" estimates on the FAFSA or by the actual tax returns done in 2007?

My dad does not want to file the tax return for 2007 until April and I do not want that to jeopardize the amount of Financial aid I will receive.

Some additional information:
I first submitted my FAFSA with an "already completed" status but then corrected it to "will file" (I thought my dad already filed). Will the schools use my corrected FAFSA application to allocate financial aid or will they just look at my initial application.

Thank you fellow CCers for the quick responses.
