@tigerusa - You need to contact each of the colleges and universities on your daughter’s list, and let them know you are facing challenges with the FAFSA and the CSS Profile. They will tell you what they want you to do. Do not be surprised if each place asks for different information. Just get whatever each place wants to that place.

Tax filing status does not affect whether or not you get an EFC. There is another reason causing the lack of an EFC. Please read all comments on the SAR to determine the real issue.

Are the taxes paid equal to or greater than your reported AGI? This is an income reporting mistake that will cause the FAFSA to reject.
