Figured as long as I had to do FAFSA, I might as well start -- do GS1 as he has his W2 (company closed books when closing brick & mortar) -- DD has final wage stub and no interest.
Have to wait for official 1099 composites & W2s for mine

You can do it before you have your final paperwork, if you can estimate. When you do tax info, you put "will file". I was able to do mine based off my last earning statement and looking at last year's tax return. It's noted that once you file you can update with the most accurate numbers. In my case, it's not going to change anything, so we just needed to get it out of the way.

I used to do the same thing, Ombud.  I wanted to get VERY close to the amount of actual financial aid DD would receive, so I did my best estimate on taxes for the FAFSA. And, the best part is, I used to get VERY close.  You're doing great! |

I think the calculator is broken. It said how much he could borrow but it seems too high ... higher than I figured

My tax return is all but done. I just need to put in my business mileage, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 miles. Need to reduce the SE tax.
I won't file until I have all the documents with income and withholding. There are 3 of those and they won't come until the end of January.
