<p>Should my parents do a FAFSA correction after they file their taxes and mail the returns to the school? Or is this not necessary?</p>
<p>If you did an estimated FAFSA and indicated "will file" as your status, and submitted it, you must to and amend that FAFSA and change your status to "completed taxes", and also change any numbers to reflect what is on the 2006 tax returns. You do not mail tax returns unless the specific schools tell you to do so. On that one, you need to check with the schools. Some require this and others do not.</p>
