The families who breeze through the FAFSA aren’t lucky — they prepared before the form opened. This toolkit is that preparation, laid out step by step: the accounts to create, the documents to gather, and the deadlines that actually control the money.
What’s Inside:
- The account & contributor map — who needs a StudentAid.gov login, for married, divorced, and remarried families.
- The Document Roundup — exactly what to gather, and the accounts you should not report (where parents routinely cost themselves aid).
- A deadline tracker for your student’s college list — the state and college deadlines that actually control the money, not the toothless federal one.
- Built for the 2027–28 cycle (which uses your 2025 taxes), with the current contributor and consent rules.
Who it’s for:
Parents of juniors and seniors getting ready to file — especially anyone who’s heard the FAFSA is a headache and wants it to be a formality instead.
