<p>I'm going to be a senior in high school next year and I was wondering if when applying for financial aid you have to use your 2008 federal income tax returns, or can you use your 2009-2010 ones? The reason for this is because my parents are now in a really bad financial situation and I think it will only be fair to account for the present situation. Even though my question was only generally speaking, but can I use the 2009-2010 ones for QuestBridge, or do they have a due date for financial aid forms before you are able to do the 2009 ones?</p>
<p>You will use the most recent tax year to file for aid for the following year. So, 2008 taxes are used only for 09/10 aid, 2009 will be used for 10/11, etc. Usually you can use estimates if you file before taxes are completed and then you make corrections later. I don’t know how the Questbridge forms work though.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, I know that I will be able to qualify for QuestBridge with our current financial situation, but I am doubtful when it comes to last year. If anyone knows anything about this regarding QuestBridge please let me know.</p>
<p>Simple–call Questbridge.</p>
