<p>Thanks for the help. I was just wondering where do I put this information (which boxes?)? I see a box for AGI:</p>
<ol>
<li>What was your (and your spouse’s) adjusted gross income for 2007? </li>
</ol>
<p>But where would I put the $5390 on the FAFSA and where would I put the deductions from buying books (I have the receipts that would put the $5390 below the $5350 limit). Where would I put the information I mentioned in the above posts/the cost of books; would I put it in any of the following fields:</p>
<p>WB12. Money received, or paid on the student’s behalf (e.g., bills), not reported elsewhere on this form.</p>
<p>WC4. Student grant and scholarship aid reported to the IRS as part of your (and your spouse’s) adjusted gross income. Includes AmeriCorps benefits (awards, living allowances, and interest accrual payments), as well as grant or scholarship portions of fellowships and assistantships.</p>
<p>So, for AGI I put 8913? Where would I put the 3523, and the cost of books to put the $5390 below the limit? What about WB12 (Would the cost of the dorm and stuff go in there?)?</p>
<p>I’m just a little confused as what the $5390 will end up representing to the FAFSA people (It’s not like I had this money pocketed or put in my bank account; it all went to paying for dorm costs/books). I currently have all 3 of the above fields blank/set to 0. I’m guessing I put 8913 for AGI and WC4, but where do I put the $3523 and the cost of the books? I was wondering which field in the worksheet was referred to here:</p>
<ol>
<li>Regardless of whether you’re required to file, the $5930 gets reported on FAFSA (along with any other income) as part of your Adjusted Gross Income. Then you also report the $5930 on one of the Worksheets, and the formula subtracts if from your AGI so that it won’t adversely affect your financial aid next year.</li>
</ol>
<p>I apologize for all the questions and I really appreciate your taking the time to help me.</p>
