<p>My parents got their tax information and return on friday. Should I go back and amend my fafsa? will my financial aid offer change? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>If your parents just got their taxes done you should have used “will file” as your status on the FAFSA. Now that you have the returns you have to update the FAFSA to match. </p>
<p>Your aid changing depends on how accurate your estimates were when you dis the preliminary filing. It may go up or down. </p>
<p>Your award was only an estimate until the taxes are filed.</p>
<p>Thank you! is there a deadline to update the fafsa?</p>
<p>You won’t know your final award until you update the fafsa, the school processes it, and then sends you the final award letter. This could take a while. So it is in your best interest to do the update today. It should only take a few minutes if you have the return in your hands. </p>
<p>You did fill out the fafsa as “will file” status, right?</p>
