<p>I am somewhat confused about how to go about filling out my CSS Profile. </p>
<p>For many questions, they say to fill out estimates based on your 2008 tax return, line yada yada, and for some they ask you to also use 2009 documents (pay stubs, etcetera). </p>
<p>If I know that the income shown on my parents' '08 tax return is not what they earned by the end of 2009, then can i just put what they earned based on 2009 pay stubs? Do I have to add on the numbers on their '08 tax returns? </p>
<p>To be more clear, this is the only document my dad has for '09, he only worked for one month during '09, and my mom doesn't work. So, our income is a LOT lower for '09 than '08.</p>
<p>Any advice is appreciated!</p>
