My DS is a junior. We will file the FASA in January of 2009.

1. Which tax year is my income based on 2007 or 2006? Will they look at dependents for that tax year or at dependents I have now? My income for 2007 was $31,500.

2. Will the non-custodial parent have to provide income information for the CSS profile if we were not married at the time of DS birth? He is listed on the birth certificate and paternity is established. We were married for 6 years but got divorced before DS was born.

3. This month I filed paperwork to become the leqal guardian for my two minor grandchildren ages 2 1/2 and 3 1/2. They now live with us. Unless the situation with their mother changes drastically, I expect that they will be living with me for at least the next year and maybe longer.

Will I be able to list this on the FASA or will I have to explain it the financial aid office?
