- By law, the FAFSA has to be available January 1. Practice since 2016 when the Department of Education switched to using prior-prior year taxes on the FAFSA has been to make the FAFSA available October 1 of each year. With the earlier FAFSA tax year information already filed by October, the opening date for the FAFSA could be moved to give 3 additional months for completion. · d7l9gwtx6pzcl.cloudfront.net
