05.28.09 | FAFSA, IRS Federal Tax Return
Did you know you are not required to complete your IRS federal tax return before filing your FAFSA? It is a common misnomer that it is required when it is simply encouraged.
Having your federal tax return complete will save you a LOT of time when completing your FAFSA. The reason being is that a number of items on the FAFSA refer directly to your 1040 tax return.
So a recap. Is your tax return required before completing your FAFSA? NO. Is it encouraged? YES.
