FAFSA Filing Changes
Beginning with 2017-18, the FAFSA cycle will begin October 1, 2016, instead of January 1, 2017. FAFSA income information will come from the “prior, prior year.” FAFSA income information will come from the “prior, prior year.” Based on this, your 2019-2020 FAFSA will collect tax year 2018 income data.
These changes are being made to allow students additional time to review, submit, and update FAFSA data. They will also reduce the use of estimated income and increase the use of the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.
