What does the FAFSA prior-prior year mean for you?

Get a head start by filing for financial aid earlier than ever: Instead of waiting until January 1, students and their families may complete the FAFSA as early as October 1 for the upcoming academic year.

You will use taxes from two years ago: For the 2017-18 academic year, the FAFSA will include two-year-old tax information (prior-prior year). For the 2017-18 FAFSA, you will provide income information from the 2015 tax year.
