<p>Simple: Is the income section (the third section of the CSS profile, I think) asking for gross or net incomes?
I am an international student and things are a little bit different in my country. Many more taxes and insurances are automatically subtracted from the gross income, so it is quite irrelevant and the sum of the net income and the taxes that my parents know of will never equal the gross income.</p>
<p>Please answer, it is a simple question!!! Do the fin aid officers do the math (subtract the taxes from a gross income I provide) or do I do it for them?</p>
