I filled out and submitted my fafsa yesterday and on there it asked if I wanted to provide more information on me and my mothers tax. I chose no Bc I already entered that she made $0 Bc she doesn’t work. I get an email saying my fafsa has been processed and I go to it and it tells me I need to edit question 32 which asks about my financial info. I go to make corrections and question 32 doesn’t show up. There’s only questions about my moms tax info. She never filed Bc she gets SSI. I filed in 2016 when I started working but it won’t let me go in and out info Bc those questions it says I need to review are not there
Question 32 asks about student tax information. It is possible you fall into the Automatic 0 EFC formula, which means it doesn’t matter how much you earned or didn’t earn … your EFC will be 0 based on your mom’s income & the answer to one other question (either was your mom eligible to file a 1040A or 1040EZ … or did anyone in your household receive federal means tested benefits, like free lunch or SNAP … or is the parent a dislocated worker). You won’t be able to update that information, in this case.
