<p>There are a lot of weird things in the formula. For instance an allowance for state tax is calculated using tables in the EFC formula. The tax rate shown for my state is not accurate at all. And asset protection allowances for a single parent are @ 40% of those allowed for 2 parent families (a pet peeve of mine even though we are a 2 parent family - just seems ridiculous).</p>
<p>I don’t know who comes up with this stuff.</p>
