<p>My parents aren't actually sure how much we made in 2008 because my mother is now full time at her job (was part time in 2007) and my father lost his job in the fall. How much guessing is allowed? Will my colleges not even determine my FA until they recieve the 2008 tax returns?</p>
<p>Do your best at estimating which is different from blind guessing.</p>
<p>Paystubs usually have year to date info. So, have them look at the last paycheck they received in 2008</p>
