<p>I live in Florida, I'm 20 and I work full time. I pay all of the bills and pay for my own food expense. My mom does not work, and has no taxes. My farther is divorced from my mother and lives in New York and will not hand over his taxes. I went to apply several times and just got denied due to the fact that I can't get any taxes from my parents. So now I'm working two jobs and I'm stuck in a bad situation. Does any one know what I can do?</p>
<p>It sounds like your father does not want you or your mother to know his income. I think you have to befriend someone in the admissions office who has dealt with divorce cases before. Otherwise, you would have to get a court to order your father to turn over the tax returns, which I doubt you want to do.</p>
<p>For FAFSA, you file with only your Mom's income info as a single parent (assuming here that you live with Mom, and that she hasn't remarried). The divorced Dad doesn't enter the picture, except to the extent he's providing assistance of some sort to your Mom. And then it's part of her income.</p>
<p>If you're saying that your mom hasn't been filing any income tax forms-- that's a different problem. Maybe she's not required to file due to low income-- at any rate, you'll need her income for the FAFSA.</p>
<p>FAFSA will assess a big chunk of your income since you're working full time. Use the FinAid calculator to see how the numbers crunch.</p>
<p>Call the FAFSA help line. That's what I did... my parents are divorced too. Most schools will also offer an exception form.</p>
