<p>Hi everyone, I hope someone out there has an answer for this. I earned money from my work-study last semester, and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to file taxes for it. I highly doubt I made over $1000, though. If I don't file taxes for it, how do I report my work-study money on my FAFSA? Am I supposed to report that money in the first place? Like I said, the money I earned wasn't much...</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>What</a> were your taxable earnings from Federal Work-study?</p>
<p>This is question 46c on the paper FAFSA.</p>
<p>Enter the total amount of taxable earnings that you (and your spouse) received in 2008 from Federal Work-study or other need-based work programs such as fellowships and assistantships.</p>
<p>Federal Work-study is income earned from work. This income should appear on your W-2 form and should be reported as wages in questions 39-40, whether or not you are a tax filer. Do not worry about reporting Work-study income in both places. The amounts from the Student’s Additional Financial Information fields are treated differently in the EFC calculation, and you will not be penalized.</p>
<p>Round to the nearest dollar and do not use commas or decimal points.</p>
<p>Do not report here any items included elsewhere in the Student's Additional Financial Information fields.</p>
