<p>Was going to start FASFA for 2013/14, and "FAFSA on the Web is currently unavailable. Please try again later. "</p>
<p>They have had how long to prepare for the new FASFA?</p>
<p>It was working on 1/1/2013. Be patient. You will have plenty of time to work on the FAFSA.</p>
<p>It happens every year. They get overloaded with all the applicants.</p>
<p>How long does it usually take to fill out? And should the tax return for 2012 be filled out first?</p>
<p>
No you can file the 2013-2014 FAFSA by estimating your 2012 taxes</p>
<p>You can estimate based on your 2011 figures, assuming there’s been no significant change, and then submit any necessary corrections after you file your return. Do file the 2012 return as soon as possible, though - this is not the year to request an extension!</p>
