<p>My dad is filling out the FAFSA form and i was wondering do we use the 2008 taxes (current) or the 2007 (previous) taxes? My dad hasn't gotten the 2008 tax booklet and my FAFSA is due Feb 1st for Vandy! What should i do?</p>
<p>Normally you would file with 2008 info. If you can’t get that done you can file with 2007 and then update when 2008 is done. Let Vandy know.</p>
<p>My understanding is you click the box “will file” and estimate the amounts. You would only use your 2007 amounts if it would be close to the 2008 returns with the numbers. Remember you are giving the best estimate for your current returns so if you made much more money than 2007, it hurts you to use those amounts because it will change against you later, and if you earn less than 2007 you would certainly want to use those amounts.</p>
