The FAFSA Submission Summary page is provided at the end of the FAFSA application. It shows the information you and your contributor(s) provided on the FAFSA form, your Student Aid Index (SAI), and your Data Release Number (DRN). Review your FAFSA Submission Summary page carefully to make sure that all information is correct. Once your form has been processed, you can make any corrections by logging back into your studentaid.gov account.
Your Financial Aid Advisor may require you to provide your Data Release Number. This request will be made through the documents section of your Financial Aid Portal.

A dependent student cannot be considered independent based only on parents refusing to help with the FAFSA. If you are unable to add information on the FAFSA form, the application will be considered “rejected,” and you might not be able to receive any federal student aid. The FAFSA instructions will tell you what to do if you are in this situation and your Financial Aid Advisor can help
If you answered 'No' to all of the questions on the FAFSA, you are still considered dependent even if you live on your own and support yourself. You still must answer the questions about your parents if you’re considered a dependent student.
If you have no contact with your parents and don’t know where they live, or you’ve left home due to an unsafe situation, fill out the FAFSA form and then immediately get in touch with the financial aid office

If you have not completed the FAFSA, your Married/Divorced status is based on the day you fill out the FAFSA.

If you are expecting a child and you will provide at least 50% of the support for that child, you can answer 'Yes' to the question on the FAFSA stating, "Do you now have—or will you have—children who will receive more than half (50%) of their support from you". You can update your FAFSA to 'yes' after it is determining that you are pregnant.
The FAFSA form was designed to provide a picture of the family's financial strength as of the day you fill it out. Since parents and spouses contribute financially to the family, their income needs to be included.
For Example, if you were married in 2022 and the FAFSA requires 2020 taxes, you still are required to add your spouse's information from the 2020 tax year.

The FAFSA uses what is called Prior/Prior year tax information. That means the taxes used for the FAFSA aren't from last year but the year before that. For example, the 2023-2024 FAFSA uses the 2021 taxes, not the 2022 taxes.
Due to the IRS allowing for extensions, the previous year's tax information is sometimes unavailable. Using prior prior year will allow more students and families to complete the FAFSA using income information imported directly from the IRS because the taxes will have already been filed and processed.
