List of documents needed to complete your FAFSA (both student & parent(s)
You might need the following information or documents as you fill out the FAFSA form:
Your parents’ SSNs if they have SSNs and you're a dependent student
Tax returns
Records of child support received
Current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts
Net worth of investments, businesses, and farms
Keep these records! You may need them again. Do not mail these supporting records to us unless otherwise instructed to do so.
One thing you don’t need for the FAFSA® form is money! The FAFSA form is FREE, so if a website asks you to pay to fill it out, you’re not dealing with the official FAFSA site. Remember, this is a government application, so it’s on a .gov website.
