<p>She has filled out the forms to the best of her ability,and I think she used the 2008 form I printed out from swimcats link to the best of her understanding, but I’m skeptical about whether I should send it or not b/c I don’t think she did it correctly. It looks to me like way too much to figure out. Right know it’s 6:00 p.m., is it possible for her to get a copy of her actual return right now? Would she have to go to her CPA in person or can she ask them to e-mail it? I’m only 17 so I have no idea how long/easy this is. If she can go get it tomorrow should I just wait another day to send the FAFSA and CSS profile so that information will be accurate? I know that if I send FAFSA now I can always correct it but I don’t know about the CSS profile.
Also, my parents chose not to list their 401K or anything on the CSS profile, they said it didn’t matter if they put it. However they did check the yes box, for receiving social security upon retirement. Is this alright or should I beg them to put a number in. (My father said that most of their 401k is gone in the first place b/c of the recession.)</p>
