<p>Is this your first time filing? Do you have assets in savings, etc.? Without knowing more, I would recommend log back in, pull up your saved FAFSA, and carefully, calmly go over it line by line, to make sure you didn't accidently populate any of the fields incorrectly. Perhaps there is something out of place, or something that you overlooked. </p>
<p>Sophomore year, I accidently entered a figure - just one figure - on the wrong line of my tax return. I entered it one line below. My FAFSA was pulled for verification, and, even though the school could clearly see the error was very obvious and what was intended, and even though they had all corresponding documentation, I actually had to file an amended tax return with < 24 hours notice. If I didn't, the school wasn't going to release the scholarship money or something (even though it had nothing to do with income). Since I was traveling on business at the time, I had to send a good friend to my house to pull my tax file, fax my original tax return to my hotel, and I had to cancel a meeting in order to take time to complete the amended tax form and send it everywhere it needed to go. </p>
<p>My point is it's very, very easy to make silly errors, especially with a form you have no experience with, so, unless there is something else or other information you didn't post, very possibly you simply entered something incorrectly in one of the fields.</p>
