<p>What does this mean exactly: "Money received, or paid on your behalf (e.g., bills), not reported elsewhere on this form."?</p>
<p>Is it referring to bills that are in my name that someone has helped me pay for?</p>
<p>I am not considered a dependent but I live with my mom. None of the bills (rent, utility) are mine, they are all in her name. So do I have to put any of this monetary information down?</p>
<p>it is referring to bills that are in your name that someone else has helped you pay for.</p>
<p>since all of the bills are in your mom's name, you do not have to put down any information about that on the FAFSA.</p>
<p>You would not worry about bills your mom paid, I believe it is directed towards things like your Aunt paid your college tuition or your Uncle paid your rent</p>
<p>Even the money the uncle uses to pay the rent won't count, as long as the apartment is not in the student's name.</p>
<p>I would like to get further clarification on this question. I am helping my son complete his 2009-2010 FAFSA entering his first year of law school. He is considered an independent upon entering and for FAFSA reporting. But, for question 47(j) does he include the tuition I paid as his father for his senior year of undergrad? And, does this count against him as he will be paying for his legal education himself through loans and scholarships?</p>
<p>I am pretty sure the detailed explanation says NOT including money from your parents</p>
