From Twitter, Beth asks: Is it true that I don’t actually need to have received my W2s in order to complete the FAFSA again this year?
Absolutely true. You can estimate your finances and file a correction later – just indicate so on Questions 33 and 82 on the printed form, or online when it asks you if you will file a tax return, say you will file later.
It’s important to file a correction later as things like actual income tax paid may vary from your estimate and give you more eligibility. Some schools say to wait to file because they don’t particularly want to process a second round of FAFSA data, but you should still file early.

Chris–
Enjoyed listening to this, my first podcast experience. You have a solid radio (or podcast) voice, and clearly radiate expertise.
Also. Thanks for your financial updates on Twitter. Appreciate your knowledge sir.
Moving into 2009 and beyond, hope to watch you drive your podcast voice and expertise as productively and influentially as far as you want it to go.
Best,
Scott
