Urgent FAFSA question

Paying for College
1

<p>my father’s income has recently been cut (it was cut around december). also, he files his tax returns late. how do i communicate these issues on FAFSA?</p>

2

<p>call them?</p>

3

<p>^they close at 8 EASTERN TIME. so they are closed.</p>

4

<p>Have you filed the FAFSA yet?</p>

<p>If not, you should try your best to meet the deadline, even if you have to use estimate numbers.</p>

<p>If you need financial aid, it is in your best interest that your dad files his 2005 income tax as soon as possible so you can send FAFSA the correct numbers.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, your father’s income being cut will have no impact on the FAFSA for this year. The FAFSA is filed on last year’s data alone.</p>

<p>What you need to do for the income issue is to write a letter of appeal to the colleges as soon as you filed the FAFSA explaining the difference in income from last year to this year.</p>

<p>As to the late filing, file the FAFSA right now (I mean yesterday!) based on estimates.</p>
