<p>So I completed the CSS Profile about a week ago but submitted it today- Because I needed to use brother's credit card and he asked me to wait til Dec (parents don't have one).</p>

<p>So I was under the impression IF you are applying ED you use info from 2010. I realize it said "make adjustments if needed" for each question... but I didn't. My parents don't speak English and had no clue what I was even asking them 1/2 the time.</p>

<p>There will be some differences between 2010-2011
Mom's income-> slightly increases.
Dad's unemployment-> no longer. i reported unemployment for the CSS but there won't be any for 2011.</p>

<p>Biggest thing!
On the CSS I think the tax forms my parents use are specific for owners of other real estate because it did not ask "do you have.." just "report...".</p>

<p>My parents have 2 other properties but it only specified one? I didn't know how to put two when there was only one space with one year of purchase.</p>

<p>In the end there ARE losses (not gains) because of them so when I send papers hopefully they'll take it into account.</p>

<ol>
<li>Will FA be "adjusted" once I send them in? No I don't mind, at all. I actually hope it will be. I think I did a crummy job... I think CSS did a crummy job.-_-</li>
</ol>

<p>Should I email? Explaining? Asking (and hoping) they adjust.</p>

<p>Biggest fail- My mom kept repeating “they’ll get the papers, this doesn’t mean anything” but obviously it does when your FA is given to you when you get in.</p>

<p>I am going to PM you.</p>

<p>Just to clarify- I don’t think I might entitled to more, but less. Dad’s no unemployment somewhat makes up for mom’s increase but not quite and the real estate part… Owning property - FA but it being a “loss” +?</p>

<p>If you are accepted, there will be plenty of time to work out the corrections and the details. If not, you won’t need to worry, right?</p>

<p>Buena Suerte</p>
