Gathering the Documents Needed to Apply
The FAFSA asks for information about you (your name, date of birth, address, etc.) and about your financial situation. Depending on your circumstances (for instance, when you filed taxes or what tax form you used), you will need the following information or documents as you fill out the FAFSA:
1. Your Social Security number (it’s important that you enter it correctly on the FAFSA!)
2. Your parents’ Social Security numbers if you are a dependent student
3. Your driver’s license number if you have one
4. Your Alien Registration Number if you are not a U.S. citizen
5. Federal tax information or tax return transcripts including IRS W-2 information, for you
(and your spouse, if you are married), and for your parents if you are a dependent
student.
6. Records of your untaxed income, such as child support received, interest income, and
veterans non-education benefits, for you, and for your parents if you are a dependent
student.
7. Information on cash; savings and checking account balances; investments, including
stocks and bonds and real estate but not including the home in which you live; and
business and farm assets for you, and for your parents if you are a dependent student.
