Confused about CSS/FAFSA/Financial Aid for RD.

<p>I applied to a school EA and submitted a CSS profile based on 2010 taxes. I read that you can't change the CSS profile after it's been submitted, but I have several schools that have financial aid deadlines of February 1. Does that mean I can send in the same CSS profile, sans update, since we haven't gotten our taxes figured out for this year yet?</p>

<p>You need to submit the CSS Profile based on your best estimate of 2011 income. If your 2010 taxes provide you with a good estimate, that’s fine. It doesn’t matter if you have your taxes for 2011 completed yet, just estimate 2011 income as best you can using pay stubs, end of year statements, etc.</p>

<p>See my post #9:</p>
