Questions about the CSS form?

<p>1/In the anual income: is it the net(substract the bank loans) or the original?
2/Should the calculations be precise or is it okay to put approximate values?
3/Could I waive the fees bcz I can't pay for the app for 4 schools?
And how to do so!
Thanks!</p>

<p>First, the income amounts should be reflexive of your end of year pay stubs if you have not yet filed your taxes. You can use the 2010 numbers as a guide and adjust up or down if 2011 is not the same.</p>

<p>YOU don’t get to decide if you get a waiver of the PROFILE fee.</p>

<p>Re: a waiver of the fees…this is decided based on your data on the Profile, I believe. Only very low income students qualify for the waiver.</p>

<p>I am an international student! Not an american! So I don’t have the same forms, nor do I get an automatic fee waiver in case of low income, my parent’s is 16K$ !Is that low enough ?</p>

<p>If you qualify for Free/reduced lunch, you could get waivers for CSS- ask your counselor.
If you haven’t finished taxes yet- you could approximate- but each school will have their own procedure to correct info.
Gross income is before taxes & deductions.</p>

<p>I do not believe that international students are eligible for a fee waiver for the PROFILE.</p>

<p>Enter the income parent 1 earned or expects to earn from work during his or her country’s most recent tax year.
Is this gross income!
So, the origianl income before substracting any taxes or loans ?</p>

<p>How should I answer to that question:
11K: net
or 16K: original income
or is there sth as :adjusted grss income ?</p>
