Verification Help

Paying for College
1

<p>I applied for FAFSA back in February using my mom's 2007 tax return because she hadn't filed for 2008 yet. I received an email from my college stating that I needed to verify my eligibility by sending in a bunch of forms including my parent's 2008 tax returns.</p>

<p>There is a huge difference between my mom's 2007 return and her 2008 return. My mom hasn't done her 2008 taxes yet, but she has an idea of the outcome. Do I still need to mail her 2008 returns when she gets them done, or do I mail the 2007 one that we used?</p>

<p>Do I need to redo FAFSA using her 2008 returns?</p>

<p>Yes you will have to correct FSFA using 2008 tax information. You will also have to mail the 2008 forms, as requested, for verification. The EFC for aid for 2009-2010 is based on 2008 income information, not 2007. No aid will be paid until you provide the accurate 2008 tax information and documentation.</p>

<p>Did her income go up or down?</p>
