CSS Profile messed up my financial aid

For some reason the interest income of my step-father’s company is showing up on our personal tax returns, leading all the schools to believe its our own money. In reality my step-father is only the CFO and does not own the money by any means.

So, to clarify: CSS Profile didn’t “mess up” your financial aid; your step-father’s personal income tax return was completed incorrectly, which led to some incorrect (but understandable) assumptions on the part of some of the schools that you applied to.
