The FAFSA worksheet provides a preview of questions that you may be asked while completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The worksheet is optional but helps parents and students know what types of information will be needed to complete the online application that will be submitted for financial aid consideration.
Use the worksheet to make notes, so you are ready to complete the online form. This worksheet will give students and parents a better idea of what is on the new FAFSA application with changes from previous year's forms. The Student Aid (or FAFSA) also has videos explaining the new FAFSA form.
To complete the online FAFSA application, students and parents will need their 2022 federal tax return. The online application uses an IRS Data Exchange Tool to easily, accurately and securely transfer the tax information to the online FAFSA form.
The FAFSA example information provided by the Federal Student Aid office may also be helpful in the planning steps.
