The form already does import most of the info from the IRS...

It IS a simple process. It uses a ton of pre-filled IRS docs.

Its designed so that a 16/17 yo can do it.

You have to make a TON of money to not benefit from the FAFSA.

That’s great news. It sounds much better than I remember it being.

Did it change recently?

I came a from a middle class family. I was applying right after the 2008 crash and my parents income was the lowest it was in ages while going through FAFSA.

It was literally a waste of time.

No? FAFSA also takes into account assets, not just income.
