for class of 2018, filling out fafsa now. will the year 2016 be the income taken into consideration or 2015 for college.
for scholarships, it appeared to ask for fafsa for 2015.
Our income varies, 2015 was more than 2016 which was significantly less. 2017 is up some.
I’ve been told by our high school that the FAFSA for 2018 doesn’t open until Oct 1, and I understand to use 2016.
For 2018-2019, you will use tax return and income information from 2016.
If you are applying for college in the Fall 2018, the above poster is correct and you use your 2016 information for the 2018 FSFA opening Oct 1.
