Financial Aid Problems

<p>The FAFSA is under maintenance right now, right? Because I can't access all my account.</p>

<p>My parents did not work and will not file a 2011 federal income tax return. They're retired and get money from SSI, yet one of the forms for the UCSB financial aid office asks me to provide W-2 statements for all sources of earnings for 2011. I have no idea what this form is.</p>

<p>I also did not file a 2011 federal income tax return and did not work that year and got no source of income. I'm also asked to provide a W-2 statement for all sources of earning, which is zero.</p>

<p>I have no idea what this is and my parents don't speak good English. Help?</p>

<p>I’m going to UCSD and the fasfa checklist has a dependent worksheet that I need to fill out and submit to the school when giving them my tax verification documents. This was available through myapplication site when I am viewing my financial aid info.</p>

<p>the following options are available on the paper:</p>

<ol>
<li>TAX RETURN NONFILERS ONLY (Student)</li>
</ol>

<p>Instructions: Complete this section if the student is not required AND will not file a 2011 income tax return with the
IRS.</p>

<p>Check the box that applies:</p>

<p>[ ] The student was not employed and had no income earned from work in 2011.</p>

<p>[ ] The student was employed in 2011 and has provided information for all employers below. Attach copies of all 2011 IRS W-2 forms. List every employer even if they did not issue an IRS W-2 form. </p>

<ol>
<li>TAX RETURN NONFILERS (Parents)
Instructions: Complete this section if the parent is not required AND will not file a 2011 income tax return with the IRS. If a tax return was filed then skip to section E.
Check the box that applies:</li>
</ol>

<p>[ ] The parent was not employed and had no income earned from work in 2011. </p>

<p>I am not sure what you should do because you said they did receive income from SSI, best option is to talk to the financial aid office before submitted anything.</p>
