Financial Officer Changed FAFSA?

<p>I got an e-mail saying a financial aid officer changed the information on my FAFSA. I went and looked, and the EFC is still the same as is everything else. What could they have changed?</p>

<p>I am wondering about this as well, but something has changed on my FAFSA. My parents’ US income tax paid has changed to zero from a non-zero amount. What does this mean?</p>

<p>JamesJr, there are changes that can be made that don’t affect EFC. Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>Muffinish, sounds like you reported taxes paid incorrectly (you took the number from the wrong line on the tax form). If taxes paid changed from 0 to a larger number, this can actually be to your benefit … as it might reduce your EFC. However, depending on your individual circumstances, this may or may not make any difference in the aid package.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply kelsmom.</p>
