parent incomes, i'm confused

Paying for College

<p>I live with both my parents, but only my dad works.</p>

<p>This was asked in an application:</p>

<p>Do you live in a single parent, single-income household?
Obviously I answered 'No'.</p>

<p>But then, the next question says:
What is the source of your family income for the most recent tax year?</p>

<p>Choices:
-Single parent income
-Both parents/remarried parents -OR- single parent with alimony/child support.</p>

<p>so do I check off 'single parent income' ?
I'm just a tad bit confused.. especially with the second choice. What is it saying?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Can you choose “both parents” and put down $0 for your mom’s income?</p>

<p>Both parents. Even if your family has one income, they may be thinking that your financial support is coming from both parents.</p>

<p>From my point of view you answered the first person correctly. It was asking if you lived in a single parent, single income family which you don’t. I think the answer to the second question should be single parent income (that’s what you have - income from a single parent). The other choices are there for multiple incomes.</p>
