After submitting both FAFSA ad CSS profile, I received an email from one school’s Fin Aid office, of a discrepancy between reported pre-tax retirement contributions on FAFSA vs. CSS. The school didn’t state exactly what the discrepancy was, but stated the relevant contribution amount would be reported on the W-2.
I provided the school the clarification that there was no contribution by my spouse through his employer, as reflected on the W-2. The school replied ‘thank you’ and now I’m wondering if there is a correction needed so other schools have the ‘correct’ information?
Thanks.
we got the same notice. My husband is a CAP so he handled it.
