Paying for College

<p>So I'm from Canada, and my 2008 tax forms aren't available yet, they will be by march.
However deadlines are approaching, and I'm wondering if it will hurt my fin aid if i give in the application without, and only with 2007 and estimated 2009.I know it says you can do it, but i dont know if it will be disadvantageous. </p>

<p>Is there anyone from previous years who got a significant amount without initially submitting their current years forms? (so 2007 for last year, 2006 for the year before)</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Last year when fillng out the FAFSA for the first time, I used my last pay stub for the year to make my estimations and I submitted it Jan 2. When I did my income taxes, FAFSA must have crossed check it with feds and updated it and I was sent a notice. I think it is better to send an estimation in early, so that you will get the maximum amount of FA available. I have already submitted my FAFSA for next year using the same formula I did last year.</p>
