<p>I need to find out if the business supplement (after the CSS Profile) is required for my mother who has a sole-proprietorship, no employees and makes very little each year. She does file her taxes with this as a business. Gross receipts for her business were around $20,000, but her net profit (after expenses) was under $500 for 2012. Her business is providing room and board (including made meals) to international students who go to college near our house, otherwise known as homestay. I know this question may vary depending on the colleges I'm applying to that require a business supplement, so I listed them below.</p>
<p>Boston University
Fordham University
Pomona College
Northwestern University
Tulane University</p>
<p>I need to find this answer soon!!! The CSS Profile and Supplement is due today!</p>
