FAFSA Filing FAQs

What can I do to prepare?

The first step is to make sure all contributors have their own StudentAid.gov account/FSA ID. The student and all contributors will need their own accounts, so setting these up in advance will streamline your ability to fill out the FAFSA.

  1. If you didn’t submit a 2026-27 FAFSA form, make sure to create your StudentAid.gov account. Remember your username and password so you can fill out the FAFSA in future years.
  2. Find out if your parents/guardians or spouse will need to be contributors based on your dependency status.
  3. If your parents/guardians or spouse will need to contribute to your form, make sure each contributor creates their own StudentAid.gov account.
If the student is a dependent and their parents/guardians filed taxes jointly, only one parent is required as a contributor and needs an FSA ID. If the student’s parents/guardians did not file taxes jointly, both are considered contributors and must have their own FSA IDs.

Which year’s tax information should I use?

The FAFSA operates with the previous year’s tax information. You’ll fill out the 2026-27 FAFSA using tax information from 2024.

Who should complete the FAFSA form?

Any student, regardless of income, who wants to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs. This includes grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.

How long will it take?

It takes most people 30 minutes to fill out the FAFSA form, including gathering any personal documents and financial information needed to complete it.
