Help with cost of attendance / FAFSA / CSS

<p>All financial aid applicants must submit both student and parent tax returns, so if they neglected to send a request be sure to FAX them in anyway - USC won’t put your package together until they get the tax returns.</p>

<p>The due date is March 2nd for parent and student tax returns [USC</a> Financial Aid - Applying & Receiving Financial Aid - Undergraduate - New Students](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/applying_receiving/undergraduates2/newstudents.html]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/applying_receiving/undergraduates2/newstudents.html) , though in the past when applicants contacted USC saying the taxes would not be filed by then, USC responded by saying “Please submit them as soon as possible thereafter,” so it should not be a problem to submit them in mid-March. If they are submitted later than mid-March it is possible your package will be presented a bit later than the others, but there should be no reduction in aid - so don’t panic about the March 2nd date.</p>

<p>Yes, you can make multiple corrections to your FAFSA, and I recommend you go ahead and do the current corrections now - you don’t want any discrepancies to raise red flags in the meantime - and then do another correction when you file your taxes.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
