<p>I am very confused about the financial part of the fafsa due to the fact that my mom didn't start to work till December of 2011 and my dad has been working for a very long time. So the question is, how do I figure out the financial information if my parents have not filed their taxes for 2012, but they did for 2011 when my mom only started working during December of that year? Do I just estimate what my parents make during the 2012 year with the 2011 tax forms or just estimate what they make in 2012 and change it to the real information when they file their taxes?</p>
<p>Yes, estimate for 2012 and update when you get the actual numbers.</p>
