<p>So my father passed away and my mother doesn't work. She receives non taxable SSI monthly and doesn't have to fill out taxes as a result. Is it better for FAFSA to just not fill out taxes or file taxes anyway? Thanks</p>
<p>If she doesn’t have to file taxes as far as the IRS is concerned, she doesn’t have to do it just so you can file the FAFSA. You just indicate “will not file” on your FAFSA for mom. If you are selected for verification, she will fill out a non tax filer form.</p>
<p>Okay thank you!</p>
