<p>One of the colleges that my dtr applied to states on their website that if we filled out the fafsa with the "will file" status, we must wait 10-14 days AFTER we do our taxes to resubmit the fafsa with the "filed" status. Does anyone know if this is correct? and why would we have to wait almost 2 weeks to submit when the taxes are done electronically?</p>
<p>Yes, this is correct. It takes the IRS a little time to get everything set in its system. It does not appear that the link is actually live yet, anyway.</p>
<p>I see, thanks! just to make sure I am clear. We will complete our taxes this weekend and wait 10 - 14 days and then we resubmit the fafsa under the “filed” status?</p>
<p>Right … that is what you should do.</p>
