You can submit your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) starting Jan. 1 of your senior year. Cappex recommends gathering all the information you will need for FAFSA prior to starting the online application. The application is eight pages long and requires you to reference a host of forms and information – including driver’s license, your family’s tax returns, bank statements and Social Security numbers – that take time to gather. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool allows applicants who have already filed their federal income tax returns to prefill the answers to some questions by transferring data from their federal income tax returns. This can save you time in completing the FAFSA. For additional information on the FAFSA go to www.fafsa.com. (Excerpts from Cappex.com)
