Using income estimates initially and modifying later is OK because preparing a FAFSA early holds your student’s place in the virtual line for financial aid. If the 130-question FAFSA seems overwhelming – remember the federal government offers 2 preparation options – using its website for free, or getting assistance from a fee-based FAFSA preparation service – much like income taxes. Top FAFSA prep services are very transparent about their non-affiliation with the government, preparation and filing options, and fees. Remember most aid is first-come, first-served so file Jan. 1 or as close to that date as possible.
