I’m really confused on question 8 for registering the CSS profile. It asks if the student has completed an income tax return for the 2015 year. I’ve never worked before, so do I click Not Required to, and will not file a tax return? Or do I choose my mom’s 2015 tax return status since I’m named as a dependent under her? I’ve received different responses so I’m not sure what to pick.
It’s asking if the student has completed an income tax return for 2015, not the parent. Do not answer with your mom’s tax return status. If you don’t have any taxable income for 2015 and have no reason to file otherwise, select Not Required.
