You should be able to figure your 2015 income pretty closely from the last paystub or at least W2 that should arrive sometime in January.

I do believe CSS profile can be corrected but not as easily online as FAFSA.
I think you have to make changes on a printout of profile and then mail it to schools.

I am not sure if schools can see where else you apply with CSS profile, but since you have to pay to send it to each school individually I doubt it. I hope someone more familiar with it can chime in.
