FAFSA Form 2022-23

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form that students and their families must complete in order to apply for federal financial aid for college or graduate school. The FAFSA form gathers information about your income, assets, and expenses to calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Your EFC is used to determine how much federal aid you may be eligible for, such as Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, and Work-Study.

The FAFSA form for the 2022-2023 school year is available on the Federal Student Aid website. You can start filling out the FAFSA form on October 1, 2021, and the deadline to submit it is June 30, 2023.

There are a few things you will need to have on hand when you complete the FAFSA form:

• Your tax return information for the most recent tax year (2020)
• Your Social Security number
• Your parents’ Social Security numbers (if you are a dependent student)
• Your college’s federal school code

You can use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to transfer your tax return information directly into your FAFSA form. This will save you time and help to reduce errors.

Once you have completed the FAFSA form, you will need to submit it electronically. You can submit the FAFSA form online, by mail, or by fax.

If you have any questions about the FAFSA form, you can contact the Federal Student Aid Help Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).

Here are some tips for completing the FAFSA form:
