>>It says that the deadline for 2008 tax returns is in april, but my dad always files for an extension, and I mean ALWAYS >>
This is NOT the year to ask for that extension. If you don't finalize your FAFSA and Profile (if the school requires profile) all you will have is an estimated finaid award. Do you NEED financial aid?? If so, please explain this to your dad. File the forms using GOOD estimates ASAP. Then explain to your dad that this year...it is important to get his taxes done ASAP as well...IF you expect to get financial aid finalized.
You can contact the college(s)...I'm sure you are not the first one with a self employed parent who asks for extensions. Ask them what to do. If they say FILE SOON..have your dad call so he can hear the same info. If they say it's ok...then it's ok.
