<p>swimcatsmom- Hi, I am new to this forum but have been reading your posts and they are very informative. I just need help understanding this question.</p>
<p>I am a parent filling out the FAFSA for my children. My daughter is in her 3rd year and my son will be starting his first year the fall of 2010. We need to get as much aid as we can and I want to be sure I filled out this form correctly. The 1040 form for 2009 year, I claimed the 1098T statement on my tax return as my children are still dependants. The question I need to ask and the exact wording on the FAFSA form for parent financial information is :</p>
<p>The Grant and Scholarship Aid reported to the IRS in your parents AGI includes grant & scholarships. The help question says I need to put in from IRS form 1040 AGI - Line 37 which is 85400.00 Is this correct? I just do not understand. Do I list this amount? Any advice would be so appreciated.</p>
