The FAFSA is very similar to the tax forms you send the IRS every year. Both are very important and complicated government forms that must be filled out exactly right in order to stay out of trouble with the federal government. Some people do their own taxes, but most pay a professional between $50 and $80 to ensure that they're done correctly.

How complicated is the FAFSA? You be the judge.

IRS Form 1040-EZ: 12 blanks
IRS Form 1040A: 48 blanks

FAFSA: 101 blanks

Many counselors, financial aid professionals and Web sites tell students not to pay for FAFSA assistance. The application is easy, they say; help is not necessary. We believe you should make your own decision about the FAFSA just like you do about your taxes.

The truth is that every person is different. Some people breeze through the FAFSA, and others need help. But it's a fact that thousands of students make errors on the FAFSA every year that result in their funds being delayed and being dropped from their courses because government funds are not delivered to their schools on their behalf. And if the FAFSA were as simple as some say, that wouldn't be true.
