filling out with last years

<p>so my parents won't have their 2008 taxes done until the beginning of February. The thing is Harvard Financial aid deadline is feb. 1st. I've heard I can fill out the FAFSA with last years taxes however when I look at the form, it asks for stuff from 2008. Do you just put the stuff from the 2007 forms in those boxes?</p>

<p>Compare the lines of the 2007 and 2008 tax returns and use the lines that read the same...Adjusted Gross Income, etc. You can also do a rough estimate using the 2008 forms instead of the 2007 forms.</p>
