Student Income when filing financial aid?

Paying for College

<p>I was wondering where I put the student income when filing the financial aid. I only see the parent's financial information, but not student. </p>

<p>Are you asking about FAFSA, CSS profile or a school’s own financial aid application? On FAFSA there are two sections, one for parent’s financial info and one for the student’s. The questions about student income should be obvious but may not have been presented to you if your parent’s income qualifies you for the automatic 0 EFC or the simplified means formula. Were you able to answer yes to any of the questions about reduced or free lunch or the other similar ones? Do your parents have a low income?</p>

<p>I was asking about the fafsa. And yes, I did answer yes to free or reduced lunch. Does that mean I don’t need to fill out my own income? I had to file taxes.</p>

<p>I know there is skip logic in FAFSA that doesn’t ask unnecessary questions based on previous answers. Maybe someone else who has recently filed fafsa will chime in as to whether all student financial info is skipped when qualifying for auto 0 or simplified means. If you log into your fafsa and can’t find a way to enter your info that is probably the case. </p>
