I will get straight to the point: My parents have no history of tax payments/filing…what can I do to apply for financial aid and is it even possible since when applying for FAFSA they ask for your parents tax documents and whatnot…my parents are also illegal immigrants and have no SSN… (sorry for the bad english just wanted to post this as fast as possible and typing from my phone)
Are you a citizen? If so, you are eligible, but your parents will need to get right with the IRS and get a tax id and file a return for at least 2016 for fall 2018 aid.
The FAFSA guide PDF available from the above website can help you with any details about the FAFSA you do not understand.
Here is a link that might be helpful:

It tells you how to apply if your parents are undocumented. The process will be different depending on your own status (citizen or DACA recipient), too.
Yes, I am a U.S. Citizen and thanks for the info!
