<p>Ok, I got the forms all in. Any reason to do my taxes ASAP? Some schools are asking for W2s--no problem--IDOCs, and tax returns. What's the drill here? Any possible enhancement to aid if I get my taxes done sooner rather than later? I feel my tax estimates are close to the mark.</p>
<p>Some schools will not issue you a finalized (based on your 2011) financial aid award UNTIL you complete your taxes and update your form(s) to indicate you have done so.</p>
<p>Any financial aid you get based on your estimates…will be an ESTIMATE.</p>
<p>This is the year to get your taxes done ASAP and do the updating ASAP. You want your accurate final not estimated financial aid award prior to making your matricution decision before May 1.</p>
<p>This is NOT the year to delay doing your taxes until April.</p>
