So I am 25 y/o and I am not required to file my parents information but am given an option to do so. I’m wondering if I should file their information because I currently have no income and have not filed a IRS tax report or w/e. Will it look weird or can I get denied FAFSA for not filing a tax report even if I have no income?
If you have no income, you have no income. It is likely the schools will ask for a ‘statement of non-filer’ which you get from the IRS.
Filing with your parents’ information and income will not change what you have to provide the schools. I’d file with my own info and provide the statement of non-filer.
Thanks for the fast response!
