FAFSA is a nightmare (also, where can I find fax cover sheets?)

<p>Here is the answer I have seen in varying forms on the financial aid forum several times: (Originally posted by 'rentof2)

Yes, you can print the CSS Profile and cross out the things you need to correct. Write in the corrected information. (You can do this for the question that asks what tax form your parents filed, too. Cross out 1040 and write in 1040A.)</p>

<p>Then send the corrected copy directly to the financial aid office of the college(s) you originally submitted it to electronically. I would send a cover letter explaining this is a corrected copy, updating the one you submitted electronically last November.</p>

<p>Having submitted it electronically in November would fulfill any upcoming deadlines, but I’d still try to get the corrected one in as early as possible, especially if, as you say, the estimated figures were way off.

Hope this helps! (Ignore the specific dates and line items - basically it says to send the corrections directly to your schools rather than re-submitting the Profile.)</p>
