You will use your parents’ tax information from 2020 to file the FAFSA for the 2022-23 school year. The FAFSA is solely based off of 2020 taxes, so you WON’T have to update the FAFSA with 2021 taxes. Visit www.fafsa.gov to file the form.
If you have questions about paying for college, or would like free help filing your FAFSA, ICAN offers free resources for college planning and financial aid. You can visit their website, www.ICANsucceed.org/ to schedule an appointment, or call their toll free number, 877-272-4692 to talk to an advisor.
You can also visit a FAFSA Ready Iowa event which offers free assistance without an appointment. Visit www.icansucceed.org/
