So I’m currently confused on this part because I don’t know whether or not I should include my families’ taxed social security benefits. I searched around and found out that I don’t include untaxed but I can’t find anything on taxed. Additionally, my counselor told me to put zero in that portion, but I’m unsure of it.
I think yes because it is included on the FAFSA.“Taxable Social Security benefits are included in adjusted gross income and so still affect aid eligibility, the same as regular income.”
Found that info in a couple of places including:https://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/20/fafsaq-and-a-part-3/
