For best consideration, the FAFSA should be filed by February 15. It is always best to use completed income tax returns to file your FAFSA, but you can use estimates and update with actual figures later. If you choose to file online, you and one parent need to secure a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at www.pin.ed.gov, so you can file the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you prefer to file the FAFSA on paper, you can obtain one at your guidance office.
