<p>If you submitted FAFSA as "Parent will file" and then you do file ... do you have to submitt a corrected FAFSA if everything else is exactly the same?</p>
<p>I think until you change it to reflect that the parent has filed no aid will actually be disbursed to you.</p>
<p>Yes....you need to change that filing status. Are you saying all of your numbers are EXACTLY the same. Wow! You did great estimating.</p>
<p>If you don't change to "completed" the college will not know that your numbers are final numbers reflective of your tax return. </p>
<p>Now, when I asked the same question about the Profile with colleges, they said corrections were only necessary if there were changes.</p>
<p>The numbers are the same. We inadvertently picked "will file" because we hadn't actually filed our completed returns yet. Bad move.</p>
<p>We did pick "filed" on the profile.</p>
<p>Just out of curiousity, could a correction trigger a review (or audit) or whatever they call it. Everything is by the book, but we'd like to avoid that hassle if we can.</p>
<p>I would not expect it to if you are just changing the will file to filed (or whatever it is). But i have no idea what triggers a verification - lots of 'random' supposedly and I am sure numbers that don't 'gel' like $20,000 interest income but no assets.</p>
<p>If you do get a verification notice it is no big deal. Just a short form to fill out and a few copies to make (W2s, 1040s etc). We were verified this year. I had wondered if putting 'will file' was one of the things that triggered a verification but I guess not if you did not have a * by your EFC.</p>
<p>Thanks. I think I'll call the schools and see if I have to do the correction.</p>
<p>Okay, the SAR does say that the correction has to be done - final status does have to be FILED.</p>
