FAFSA deadline for colleges

<p>Suppose a college says their prority deadline for the FAFSA is Feb. 16. Do they mean they want the FAFSA w/ all the corrected information by Feb. 16 or just the estimated version?</p>

<p>I would think they would want at least the estimated version. One of my college's priority deadline was January 15. My parents just finished filing their taxes a few days ago. I don't think anybody is done filing their taxes so early. I think you're fine, but you might have to check in with other more experienced members.</p>

<p>they don't expect the perfect version by Feb 16.</p>

<p>Just realize that any FA offer you get could change if you update with significantly different figures when you have the 'real' numbers</p>

<p>Thanks. I too am going to enter our 2007 figures. We will be going to the accountant this month to have our taxes done. When I get the 2008 figures, I'll amend the FAFSA. We won't be filing until April 15th but I will put in the actual numbers sooner than that, is that ok? My daughter's school's deadline in March 1st.</p>
