How do I calculate the minimum amount that must be withdrawn from my IRA after age 70 1/2?

You will need to refer to chapter 1 of Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), to find out this amount. Generally the minimum distribution is computed using one of three tables found in Publication 590. Table I is used by beneficiaries. Table II is for use by owners who have spouses who are more than 10 years younger. Table III is generally for use by unmarried owners and owners who have spouses who are not more than 10 years younger.

       Free Application for Federal Student Aid

    The "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" or "FAFSA," is the form that student borrowers must fill out in order to receive federal student aid, including Pell grants, Stafford loans, and Plus loans. In general, schools require students to complete a FAFSA in order to receive any need-based funding. The FAFSA collects information about the student's financial situation and, in most cases, the student's parents' financial situation, and schools can use this information to determine a student's financial need. As the name implies, the FAFSA is free to file.
