In cases where the school sees discrepancies when it comes to marital status and filing status, the school is required to identify and resolve those issues the student wishes to receive aid. My school would require the family to bring in IRS documentation that they would be allowed to file the way they do, or in some cases we have to reference the IRS publications ourselves. I’ve seen tax advisers give incorrect filing advice, so the school may not take word from the accountant…but that could vary school by school. If it was found that both parents could not file HoH, the school is able to tell the family they need to amend the return in order to receive aid.
