Questions about FAFSA for College?

No you don't have to fill up new application again, but you need to update your information which you can do on their website online. You should have a pin from fafsa when you filled up app first time and use that to log in. And sry I don't know about adding brother /sister

You have to fill out FAFSA each year, after year one it will be a renew. When you log into FAFSA it will say so and you click that. It will have a lot of your information already filled in and you change anything that changed from last year and you will update the tax and financial sections. Each student has to do their own FAFSA, so your sister will do her own. There is a question on the FAFSA asking if anyone else in the house will be attending and you both will answer yes. http://bellarminearc.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/file-your-fafsa-early-this-year-and-heres-why/ Dont wait for taxes. File early as an estimate. When you are filing out your FAFSA there will be a question about parent and your tax filing. It will say file, filed, will file, not going to file. You will click will file. That automatically tells them you are doing an estimate. Then you just estimate your 2011 wages by using the last check stub and when they ask for total tax for 2011 you will put the one from 2010. Then complete the fafsa and submit. A message will come up on the bottom even saying that you did it as an estimate and remember to log back in to update the 2011 tax info when you do taxes for 2011. Then as soon as the W2s come in get those taxes done. Then log back into your FAFSA, click make corrections, choose filed for the tax filing question and then put in the 2011 tax info and resubmit. So you have to do FAFSA every year. After the first year it will be an renew. It will save most of your information so wont have to reenter it, just change anything that changed like address, phone number, so its really fast after that. Make sure to do your renews as estimates also, closest to Jan 1 when the FAFSA opens up every year.
