<p>Well, this is a fun day! We're trying to get through the CSS Profile but we're stumped in two areas. Maybe someone can help?</p>
<p><strong><em>1</em></strong></p>
<p>Section SD-115: How much was your parents' contribution to your education for the 2006-2007 school year?<a href="This%20describes%20high%20school%20tuition%20and%20expenses.">/u</a></p>
<p>How are private education expenses used? Is it better to go high or low? My thinking on this is we pay HS tuition and a LOT of money for music lessons. Should we include tuition, books, music lessons, other HS fees? Or is it better to go low and just list tuition?</p>

<p>SR-160: Enter the amount your parents think they will be able to pay for your 2007-2008 college expenses.

FM-135: How much was your parents' contribution to this person's [brother] education for the 2006-2007 school year?</p>
<p>We put zero in both of these boxes, and here's why. We will pay for child #2's first year or two out of his assets (custodial account). So, technically, we are not contributing anything, right? Same thinking for the second question: We paid for son #1's expenses out of his custodial account, technically meaning we haven't contributed anything. DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?</p>
<p>Yikes. Your opinion is not legally binding... ;)</p>
<p>I posted this on Parent Forum too. Thanks.</p>
