<p>I’m not sure the above is correct. The MOM did not earn the income. She will NOT have a 2013 tax return that reflects any portion of her husband’s earnings (except if she got spousal support which i believe IS taxed). If the parents are separated, and the mom is the custodial parent…and earned NO money, I believe she is not required to file taxes, and would complete a non-filers statement. She would NOT list any portion of her spouses income on the FAFSA…UNLESS it was listed as spousal support or child support. Those are required on the FAFSA.</p>
<p>I’m hoping Kelsmom will see this thread and clarify this for the OP.</p>
