As an accountant, there’s really nothing about the FAFSA that I understand more than a parent who has successfully completed it before. Most of the really complicated FAFSA issues to my knowledge have nothing to do with (for example) tax law and everything to do with education law which accountants don’t study as a matter of course. Unless your accountant says that she knows what she’s doing with the FAFSA she might not be any better it completing it than you are. If you really don’t feel like dealing with it it wouldn’t be a problem to ask, but I don’t think that she would have any special insight as to answering those questions if she isn’t familiar with the FAFSA already.
