fafsa crisis ?

<p>my mom and my dad are separated and i filled out my fafsa application with my mom's information even though she doesnt fill out her taxes with me but my dad does is that going to be a problem ?</p>

<p>Do you live with your mom? The parent you live with is the one you list on your FAFSA.</p>

<p>yes but i spend my weekends with my dad</p>

<p>and does it matter if she doesn’t do her taxes with me</p>

<p>You are your mom’s dependent for the FAFSA if you live with her more during the year than you live with your dad. As in 50.01% of the year vs. 49.99%.</p>

<p>You are your dad’s dependent for taxes because your parents decided it would work best that way.</p>

<p>These are two different things. Lots of kids are in this situation, it is quite common. You filed the FAFSA correctly.</p>
