Hey SDN, I've ran into a weird problem I hope to be able to fix before the deadline for fafsa on the 31st.

Currently my fafsa (2014-2015) tax information is saved as "not going to file". They need my 2013 tax information so I can submit it for the summer term. I did file, but I made the stupid decision not to save the paperwork. My parent is remarried (widowed) and I have the correct tax info for her but mine is saved as just not going to file. I'm worried the IRS couldn't get me a copy in the next 2 weeks and for that reason being the school can't process it. My FAFSA is also submitted for 2015-2016 so my Fall semester is covered, but I was seriously wanting to start come May.

Any advice I could use?
 
You can get a transcript from IRS fairly quickly. Talk to your school.
You can also just update date the FAFSA With your best estimemt.
