Rosa will need several important documents to fill out the FAFSA. These include:
- Her Social Security card and driver's license (if applicable).
- Her 2023 federal income tax returns and W-2 forms or other records of money earned.
- Records of any untaxed income, such as child support or veterans benefits.
- Current bank statements and records of investments.
- If not a U.S. citizen, her alien registration or permanent resident card.
- For dependent students, financial information from parents is also required, including their tax returns and income records.
Additionally, she will need her FSA ID to electronically sign the form, and school codes for the colleges she is applying to. Tax returns and recent pay slips are key documents for income verification, while transcripts and driving records are not required for FAFSA. This set of documents supports accurate and complete FAFSA submission to determine eligibility for federal student aid.
