Help with FAFSA & CSS Profile (foreign tax info)

Paying for College
1

So I’m a US citizen abroad and am in the process of applying to UNC Chapel Hill. I’m really confused as to how the FAFSA and CSS profile work in terms of verification. How do they verify the information we provide them? The reason this makes me really anxious is that my parent’s tax form is around 50 pages long and in German. The price of having that officially translated would probably be monumental. Will they require us to get those 50 pages translated and have it sent to them or is there some other way verification is/can be done? My parents aren’t US citizens so they dont file US taxes (as Americans abroad seem to have to do too)

Ugh this is really stressing me out…

Well most schools don’t verify everyone but I suppose you never know. You would have to email the school financial office for your inquiry. They are somewhat used to handline overseas students, they probably have specialists that do nothing but deal with that.
