FAFSA, IRS Federal Tax Return

28 May 2009 32 views No Comment

Did you know you are not required to complete your IRS federal tax return before filing your FAFSA? It is a common misnomer that it is required when it is simply encouraged.

Having your federal tax return complete will save you a LOT of time when completing your FAFSA. The reason being is that a number of items on the FAFSA refer directly to your 1040 tax return.

So a recap. Is your tax return required before completing your FAFSA? NO. Is it encouraged? YES.
