<p>Sorry all, but I have a small question to ask. My parents recently filed their taxes for 2008 and there's a difference between our income from the year before. Am I supposed to contact the schools which have already given me financial aid estimates before revising my FAFSA?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Just amend your FAFSA to reflect the changes and submit them to the schools…and change your filing status to “taxes filed”. You submit the amended FAFSA to the schools. They will make any necessary adjustments to your financial aid. Since you must have filed your original FAFSA as a “will file”…the school already KNOWS that you will be updating your FAFSA and they are looking for that “taxes filed” status so that they can adjust your financial aid if necessary and make any adjustments they choose to make.</p>
