<p>I want to submit it in the end of January..but my mom is taking freaking long to get all the documents ready!! She's always like that. I keep telling her that I need to submit it as soon as possible but she doesn't seem to care!! I want to get this done and submit it so that I don't need to worry about it. I don't think my mom will get the documents ready by the end of this month. Even though, I keep bugging her everyday...she still doesn't cooperate! When should I submit the FAFSA? Any additional information about FAFSA is greatly appreciated! Thanks.</p>
<p>Everyone hates doing the FAFSA. You can help your mom by doing a preliminary draft of the FAFSA to find out what she needs to include. </p>
<p>Tell her that the sooner you get something to the financial aid offices, the sooner they can start working on a FA package for you. In some universities the FA actually runs out and being the last one to turn your paperwork in will mean that you may not even get any FA at all.</p>
<p>When? Before the first priority due date. Use estimates or '07 income and tax figures if you need to, but meet the due date. You can correct it later.</p>
