<p>So I was going over my FAFSA and saw that I put 7000 for my parent's income tax when really it is 4000. I changed it by doing corrections online and my EFC went from 9996 to 11400ish!!</p>
<p>what the heck went wrong?? :(</p>
<p>less tax paid means more income that is assessed by EFC. Just how the formula works. Nothing wrong at all</p>
