<p>As a US citizen, you will file as a US student. Indicate that your parents will not file a US tax return, then provide as much of the appropriate financial information that you can.</p>

<p>Be prepared to provide a good deal of documentation.</p>

<p>we’ve never applied for FA, but I think the FAFSA and CSS PROFILE forms and the schools that you apply to tell you what info you need and where they get sent.</p>

<p>Look at the FAFSA and CSS websites and see what is needed. Look at the FA pages of the schools that you’re applying to. That should be your roadmap. If in doubt, call/email the FA offices of your schools and ask…you’ll get the correct info that way.</p>
