FAFSA Basics for Tax Professionals  

Clients often turn to their tax preparer when completing the FAFSA form because the application relies heavily on tax return information. A small mistake can delay or reduce a student's financial aid eligibility. This quick nano course explains how FAFSA works, what tax information is required, and the most common errors to avoid. Tax professionals will gain practical insight they can use when advising clients with students applying for college financial aid.

Materials used for this course were supplied by Spidell's Federal Taxletter.

This overview course may be appropriate for professionals at all organizational levels.
