<p>Is it better to wait until my mom has her 2011 returns ready or to guess and send it in now??? My parents made about 20k more than last year because they've worked more, so I'm assuming that some of the numbers would be off.</p>
<p>What we are doing (unless find out otherwise) is filing the FAFSA now with good guestimates and then filing the CSS when we have accurate numbers. I hope this isn’t the wrong approach. I’ve yet to figure out how to edit the CSS for the 2 schools we already sent it to, so would prefer to not send it to the other ones until the info is right :-)</p>
<p>You need to contact the colleges to find out how THEY want the profile amended. Each school will tell you what they want you to do.</p>
