We used the IRS retrieval tool on the FAFSA, so all the numbers should be correct.
The college that alerted me to this (it’s not the college that made the change) now wants our W-2s to see which set of numbers to base their FA on. I’m fine giving them our W-2s as we have nothing to hide.
Also, the initial EFC that I got pretty much corresponds to most NPCs that I ran, it’s the new EFC, that’s the outlier (to our benefit if it stands)
