As another poster said, I think you’ll be fine as long as you submit the application as “will file.” That’s definitely meeting the deadline, and you can always go back and add more information once it comes in.

That’s what I’ve done. I fill out as much as I can on January first, recheck it all around now, and then enter my parents’ tax information as soon as it comes in. My school even emailed me last year and said that some of my numbers were off. (Mis-typed an amount on one column.) Most schools SHOULD understand since it’s completely out of your hands with this particular situation.

It’ll all work out! Good luck.
