<p>Is the following correct with regard to how the FAFSA website numbers things?</p>

<p>When you complete your initial submission I got a confirmation number in the format of F 000-00-0000 XX and then for the first correction the format was B 000-00-0000 XX 01.</p>

<p>However when you go back into the website after these submissions have been processed they are listed as Transactions number 01 and 02.</p>

<p>Is that correct?</p>

<p>That’s correct. “01” is your first filing. “02” is your first revision.</p>

<p>Thanks! That’s what I thought - wonder why they don’t make things consistent and number the confirmations to match the transaction records - oh right, it’s the government we’re dealing with here…</p>
