<p>^^Agree…if in fact you did a preliminary FAFSA calculation and if it appears you may have a 0 EFC then your mother’s taxes should be very, very simple. There is free tax prep and filing software available on-line. You might offer to help your mother get through it. If you have zero EFC, then it is ridiculous to take precious money to pay someone to do taxes. If you had taxes taken out of any part-time work earnings you should file also.</p>
