<p>When do we have to have all our FAFSA and financial aid stuff ready?</p>
<p>As soon as you can - You can estimate or better yet prepare and file your taxes ASAP after the first of the year…</p>
<p>Don’t I have to wait for my parents’ forms that come out next year???</p>
<p>What year are you starting college? If you are starting in September of 2011, for example, you should start filling it out as soon as possible after January 1 2011.</p>
