What do I need to fill out the FAFSA?

You will need records for assets and income earned in the year prior to when you will start school. You will also need records of your parents income information.

For the 2008-2009 school year, you will need 2006 and 2007 returns when completed, or an estimate if you plan to extend filing your return until October 15, 2008. You will need to have:

• Your Social Security card and driver's license
• W-2 Forms or other records of income earned
• Your (and your spouse's, if you are married) Federal Income Tax Return
• Your parent's Federal Income Tax Return
• Records of other untaxed income received such as welfare benefits, social security benefits, TANF, veteran's benefits, or military or clergy allowances
• Current bank statements and records of stocks, bonds, and other investments
• Business or farm records, if applicable
• Your alien registration card (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
