The best time to complete the FAFSA is in January-March of the year that you plan to start college. For the 2013-2014 school year, the best time to fill out the FAFSA would be before March 15. The FAFSA becomes available on January 1st of every year. Individual schools and states will have their own deadlines, but a good rule of thumb is to have it completed by March 15 in order to get the most benefits. You can still fill it out during the school year though.
