<p>Hey I'm filling out my FAFSA and i was wondering if i would get more financial aid if i say that i had a job. Technically i had a job, but it's like underground work lol...its hard to explain. What do u think?</p>

<p>You won’t get more money if you say you had a job (report income). You might get less.</p>

<p>Students get an income allowance of up to about $3500 per year, before the FAFSA formula starts increasing the EFC (and therefore decreasing the potential aid).</p>

<p>What do I think? I think your FAFSA should match your tax return, which should match the truth.</p>
