<p>Ok so I had to manage the rest of the CSS and FASFA for my mother and It turns out that we had a lot of 0s (I had the 1040 right in front of me, and there were ALOT of blank spaces) So it turns out it took me about 45 minutes to fill out the whole thing. Combined, we make ~ 17,000 a year (just my mother and I)</p>
<p>I keep feeling like I did something wrong, same goes for the CSS profile -_-</p>
<p>It looks like your family income is low enough to qualify for an automatic 0 EFC, so yes, a whole bunch of questions that the rest of us with higher incomes get asked are just skipped right over.</p>
<p>Because FAFSA uses skip logic you’re only asked the questions that pertain to you. My guess is that you did not have to go through all of the asset questions, and perhaps not the student income questions, based on your mom’s low income.</p>
