What documents should I have for the CSS Profile? My mom is going to the CPA office tomorrow so she’ll be able to get what I need then. Also, once I finish making the CSS Profile, am I done or is there more to it afterwards? How many questions is online registration? I keep having to redo it from the beginning because it logs out while I’m searching what certain questions mean T.T Thank you~
On hand, you’ll need tax returns for the last two years, estimated one (or estimated income) for this year, asset information (like the cost of any investments your family may have, value of house or other real estate, mortgage amounts left, amount in bank accounts, some will ask for retirement account info, etc.).
Once you register, you should be able to preview the questions and go through to figure out what else you need. As for registration, the list of what you need is in the top right hand corner of the first page.

Thank you so much @purpleacorn
And for anyone else reading this thread later, some of the questions on the CSS profile are school specific. For example, some schools want to know about the family vehicle(s) including purchase date, make, model and purchase price, and/or amount owed, if any. Other schools don’t ask for as much info. So when you fill out the profile for one school, don’t assume you have all the info for all the schools on your list.
