<p>We filled out the CSS Profile Nov. 1 for early action school and based info on 2003 tax returns (estimating everything for 2004). On FAFSA, should we use the same numbers or the (more accurate) 2004 numbers, where possible? Will it look inconsistent if the numbers are different? Thanks.</p>
<p>On the Fafsa you should state the most accurate (2004) numbers. They know you filed the profile before January first and are expecting this.</p>
<p>I need help with something along these lines too though. I put the wrong numbers on the profile. I stated too much income for my mom and forgot to mention a little gov't trust account (worth $1000). The correct numbers are on the Fafsa, but some scools need both. Will this work out when I finally send them the actual documents?</p>
