I realized I put the $1800 I put into my 401k both my income and under my son also in error. I just went in and made the correction. I see though that it didn’t change his Pell Grant. Why would that be? He only worked the last 2 weeks of the year and made $446. His Pell Grant is only $1370.
What is your FAFSA EFC?
And what is YOUR income from 2016? The EFC is primarily based on parent income.
If the $1800 was under income for him (not assets) and he only made $446, that’s under the income allowed for the student. The $1800 wasn’t a factor (nor was the $446), so no change to the EFC.
