This is the thread I was thinking of — does this situation apply to you?

FAFSA Issue

I know this is a year later but this just happened to us. I submitted the FAFSA and the calculations for EFC seems way off because the only taxable income my daughter had was from scholarships/grants and work study. I transferred her tax return using the IRS retrieval tool and then listed the scholarships that were income in income on 43d assuming the FAFSA will reduce her “income” by this amount since the scholarships/grants are need based and not true income. To our surprise our EFC was quite a bit more than want should be. I contacted FAFSA and a supervisor at FAFSA and they couldn’t help me and said their calculations are correct and to contact my daughter’s school. Can you let me know how you resolved this issue…am I reporting the wrong amount on 43d (I simply used the amount from her tax return that was taxable wages and reported under wages to IRS), or were you able to get resolution from your daughter’s school? I am at a lost and not sure what to do or who to get help fro…
