Well…that 2022 data will be used for the 2024-25 academic year.
I actually think the questions you are referring to about projected income on the Profile were NOT actually used in the computation. Not sure why they ever bothered asking.
The tax year info for the FAFSA and Profile are the same…and always have been. When FAFSA went to Prior Prior…so did Profile.
Re: your income jump…is it a one time thing that will never happen again…something like a bonus or something that won’t repeat. If so, you can ask the college for a special circumstances consideration to remove the extra bonus or whatever.
For families with large fluctuations in income, merit aid is sometimes a better hunt. That doesn’t consider family finances…at all.
