<p>Hi, While I was filling the CSS Profile, and it said to list my parent's income. But my father expired 8 years ago and I live with my grandparents and mother. We live off my grandfathers pension. So, in that case my grandfather pays the taxes and can I count him as my Parent/Guardian and fill his income in the parent's income column.
Please help me......</p>
<p>Yes, if your grandfather is paying for your college then it is his details they want. If it is not mentioned in your application anywhere you can send this information, as an additional input.</p>
<p>“and any explanations of special circumstances that have a bearing on the family’s ability to pay for college.”</p>
<p>The above is from the CSS profile link on College Data

<p>“Customized application questions about income, assets and expenses tailored to your unique family and financial circumstances…” and also</p>
<p>“An online Noncustodial PROFILE that must be completed by your noncustodial parent (if applicable)”</p>
<p>And the above two quotes are from the following College Board link</p>
