<p>I'm supposed to highlight my family's income on the 1040 tax return to qualify for a waiver.</p>
<p>Does AP testing take into consideration the "adjusted gross income" or "taxable income" as the income? Because if it is adjusted, I don't qualify for a waiver, but if it is taxable, I do qualify. The only information I could find was that it was the income "after taxes."</p>
<p>Also, if I do get a fee waiver, who ends up paying the rest of it? I am self-studying all 3 of my APs, and I am NOT taking it at my home school. I am taking it at another school because my school doesn't administer the three tests. Do the schools pay for them? If so, which one: the one I'm taking it at or the one I attend?</p>
<p>I checked past posts, but didn't find the answers to these questions.</p>
<p>I live in CA, if that helps. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
