Going to college and taxes

Do you have kids going to college?  Or, are you a College Student?

You are lucking to have a double whammy this time of year, not only do you have to get your taxes done by April 15th, but you also have to file your FAFSA by March 2nd.  Oh but wait, you need to have your taxes completed and filed before you finish up with your FAFSA paperwork.

If you don’t know what FAFSA is it is Free Application for Federal Student Aid.  FAFSA website Every college student or High School senior should be filling this free application out just to see if they qualify for any free government money.  The application is quite simple; you just need to have your current tax return available when you are ready to file the free application. 

Things you will need besides your tax return for you, your spouse and your college student:

            1.   Social Security Numbers

            2.   Driver License Numbers

            3.   High School Information

            4.   Name of College (if you have the college code it will be better) that you want to attend (up to 10 colleges)
