I am not sure at all of the answers to your questions, as I can't tell if you are a dependent on anyone else's IRS forms. If you are a dependent, your parent(s) have to fill out the CSS and the FAFSA and you put their info as well as your own info regarding income and filing. They will use all of the info they are given. If you are not required to file, they will definitely use that info, and will calculate your Estimated Family Contribution based on the numbers you give them. Be careful about the dependent stuff, though. Schools will want your parents, if you are not emancipated or are a dependent, to pay what they can for your education.
