<p>While the 2 of you may live together and only her income is needed on the FAFSA, she would also have to report any monies you give her toward rent, food, utilities on the FAFSA, which can affect her financial aid.</p>
<p>I dont’ see how that works. There are students sharing apts, and sharing utilities, they aren’t including each other’s portions on their FAFSAs. It would make more sense if you only have to report if someone is paying for you (paying your share of the rent, paying for your food, etc).</p>
