Applying for FAFSA right now they want my Dads income in 2016 but he was on welfare and recieving ebt or food stamps all year, so he didn’t file taxes. I just want to know if I report his income as 0 and proof of such would be some kind of proof from a welfare statement? I just don’t know how to go about it.
You put that he did not file (and will not file) You may be asked to provide a statement of non-filer that you get from the IRS. Food Stamps and welfare are not income. Any unemployment he received is income and should be reported even if he didn’t need to file taxes.
