Remember thathyperventi lated studentofyours who camehome so excited last week? Well you probably wont recognize him her as the same person when they come home this week, in a shocked state of depression. This depression will be caused by the little fifteen page manual in their hand...its the form they have to fill out to get the aid. As a parent this is your chance to be a hero. The only part they really have to fill out is the two page foldout stapled in the middle, but in their initial state of shock they will not have heard their high school counselor telling them manual is this. The over-size- d nothing more than detailed in structions in case they get lost. Theyll love you forever. (OK, at least for thirty seconds.) As the parent you can also relax because this two page fold out can be completed in about half an hour if you sit down to do it with some basic information, namely: 1 ) What your home is worth; and how much you still owe on it (Renters can simply mark that they rent.) 2) How much your carfs) are worth and what you owe on them. 3) How much you have in sav- ings, stocks, bonds, etc. 4) How much is in your checking account at that moment 5) A copy of your 1992 income tax return.

(The only exceptions are ifthe student is either 24 years old or married with children they must use their parents 1992 tax return) By law all employers must and explain that you need this done as soon as possible and why. Now, usually about this time in the discussion, someone points out the fact that sending in your taxes early increases you mail W-- 2 forms to their employ- chances ofbeing audited. Rather ees by January 31 st (end of this than debate this issue, lets just week). Because FFA dollars are clarify a point..You dont have given out at colleges on a first to send them in early, you just come first serve basis, how much have to prepare them early. As long as what goes on your your senior may get not only depends on their need, but on 1992 tax return matches what how quickly they can apply.
